# §894.405. What happens if I go into nonpay status or if my pay/annuity is insufficient to cover the allotments?

- (a) If your pay, annuity, or compensation is too low to cover the premium allotments, or if you go into a nonpay status, contact the Administrator to arrange to pay your premiums directly to the Administrator.
- (b) If you do not make the premium payments, your FEDVIP coverage will stop. You will not be able to reenroll until the next open season after:
  - (1) You are in pay status; or
  - (2) **Your pay is sufficient to make the premium allotments.**
- (c) If you are a FEDVIP enrollee, who due to a lapse in appropriations is furloughed or excepted from furlough and working without pay due to such a lapse, your FEDVIP coverage will not stop during such a lapse. Upon the end of such a lapse, premiums will be paid to the Carrier from back pay made available as soon as practicable upon the end of such a lapse.
