§ 890.1417 No continuation of FEHB enrollment into retirement from employment with a tribal employer

5 CFR 890.1417(a)(a) An FEHB enrollment cannot be continued into retirement from employment with a tribal employer.

5 CFR 890.1417(b)(b) A Federal annuitant may continue FEHB enrollment into retirement from Federal service if the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 8905(b) for carrying FEHB coverage into retirement are satisfied through enrollment, or coverage as a family member, either through a Federal employing office or a tribal employer, or any combination thereof.

5 CFR 890.1417(c)(c) A Federal annuitant who is employed after retirement by a tribal employer in an FEHB eligible position may participate in FEHB through the tribal employer.

5 CFR 890.1417(d)(d) A tribal employee who becomes a survivor annuitant as described in § 890.303(d)(2) is entitled to reinstatement of health benefits coverage as a Federal employee would under the same circumstances.
