        (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.
