894.403—Are FEDVIP premiums paid on a pre-tax basis?

(a) Your FEDVIP premiums are paid on a pre-tax basis (called premium conversion) if you are an active employee, your salary is sufficient to make the premium allotments, and your agency is able to make pre-tax allotments.
(b) Your FEDVIP premiums are not paid on a pre-tax basis if:
(1) You are an employee in nonpay status or an employee whose salary is not high enough to make premium allotments, or your agency is unable to make pre-tax allotments;
(2) You are an annuitant, a survivor annuitant, or a compensationer ;
(3) Your enrollment change was made effective retroactively which resulted in additional premium withholdings, unless it is as a result of birth or adoption of a child.
(4) You have been approved to pay premiums directly to the Administrator.
