If your question is not answered

Federal Times’ experts cannot answer every question submitted. You’ll have the best chance of getting an answer to your question if you follow these steps:

• Ask questions that have not previously been answered. Before submitting a question, review the Q&As already on the site. Review the Frequently Asked Questions or use the "Search" tool above.

• Provide sufficient information about yourself — for instance, a question about retirement should say which retirement system you are in.

• Do not expect personal legal, financial or career advice. Answers that require a legal opinion, particularly those involving divorce and court orders, cannot be provided.

Health insurance after previously married husband died

December 26th, 2012 | Uncategorized

Q. My friend’s husband died recently. She does not receive a survivor’s benefit because his first wife was awarded the maximum benefit in the divorce settlement. Can she keep her federal health insurance?

A. She could continue her health benefits coverage only if she was 1) receiving a survivor annuity, 2) a federal employee or 3) a retiree who was receiving an annuity based on her own federal employment.
