--- kind: "section" citation: "5 C.F.R. § 894.602" title: "5" number: "894.602" heading: "May I cancel my enrollment at any time?" url: "https://uscodex.org/cfr/5/894.602" --- # §894.602. May I cancel my enrollment at any time? Generally, an enrollee may only cancel an enrollment during an open season. Exceptions: You may cancel your dental and/or vision enrollment if: - (a) You are an enrollee and transfer to an eligible position with a Federal agency that provides dental or vision coverage with 50 percent or more employer-paid premiums and you enroll in that program. - (b) **You are an enrollee and you or your spouse deploy to active military duty.** - (c) You are an enrollee or sponsor who does not pay premiums on a pre-tax basis, identified at [§ 894.403(b)](/cfr/5/894.403.md?p=b), and during the course of your enrollment, you become eligible for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) dental or vision benefits. If you cancel a self plus one or self and family enrollment, as sponsor, you must notify your family members of changes in your enrollment pursuant to [§ 894.815](/cfr/5/894.815.md). You will still be the sponsor but no longer the enrollee, and pursuant to [§ 894.811](/cfr/5/894.811.md), your family members will only be eligible for FEDVIP dental coverage since you are a TEI-D who is not enrolled in FEDVIP and receives VA dental services and meets one of the conditions in [§ 894.309(a)(3)(iii)](/cfr/5/894.309.md?p=a-3-iii). Upon cancellation of the enrollment, pursuant to [§ 894.811](/cfr/5/894.811.md), a TEI family member can accept the responsibility to self-certify and enroll in a FEDVIP dental plan as a TEI certifying family member and cover other TEI family members. - (d) Cancellations under this section will become effective at the end of the pay period that you submit your request. ## Notes ### Amendments [88 FR 47748, July 25, 2023] ### Authority Authority: 5 U.S.C. 8962; 5 U.S.C. 8992; Subpart C also issued under section 1 of Pub.
