Annuitants are allowed to decrease enrollment at any time. This means that if you have a Self and Family enrollment and you decide you would like to change to a Self Plus One enrollment, you may do so throughout the year.
If you have a Self Only enrollment, however, you must experience a Qualifying Life Event in order to change to Self Plus One. These are events such as marriage, divorce, or a family member’s loss of coverage under another health insurance program. For a full list of allowed QLEs, please view the
SF 2809.

You should determine your eligible family members and decide which enrollment type is best for you. A Self Plus One enrollment type will cover you and one eligible family member. You will want to pay close attention to the benefits and rates in both the plan you currently have and other FEHB plans available to you. OPM provides materials to help you make this important decision. Visit

It will be very important during Open Season to look at the rates for the plan you are in and for other plans as well. It may be possible to save money by enrolling in a Self Plus One enrollment, but you should review your health benefit needs and the available FEHB plans to determine which plan is best suited to meet your needs.

No. In order to decrease your enrollment to Self Plus One you will need to make an enrollment change during Open Season or in conjunction with experiencing a Qualifying Life Event. Your employing (or retirement) office will not change your enrollment unless you request it.
