“Can my husband allowed to drop me off his health coverage now or does he have to wait for open season?”

Reg’s Response

He would have to wait until Open Season unless there is a permissible change to enrollment that would allow it to happen earlier. You’ll find those situations that qualify at https://www.opm.gov/retirement-center/publications-forms/benefits-administration-letters/2003/03-207a.pdf
