# §894.810. If I enroll for self plus one, may I decide which TEI family member to cover?


Generally, yes, as specified in [§ 894.202](/cfr/5/894.202.md). However, if you are an enrollee and you do not elect a type of enrollment that covers a TEI family member, that TEI family member will not have FEDVIP coverage or benefits. A TEI family member who is not a TEI certifying family member may not self-certify and enroll himself or herself as a TEI family member in a FEDVIP plan. Note however, that a TEI family member may seek reconsideration of an erroneous enrollment under [§ 894.104](/cfr/5/894.104.md), and the Administrator and OPM retain authority to correct enrollments under [§ 894.105](/cfr/5/894.105.md).
