*e- Background: A spouse’s eligibility as an SBP beneficiary terminates upon divorce. If neither the member nor the former spouse requests the election change during the one-year eligibility period, former spouse coverage may not be established thereafter. Neither party remarried, SBP premiums continue to be deducted from the member‘s retired pay, and the former spouse is reflected as the eligible spouse beneficiary.

If neither the member nor former spouse requests the election change during the one-year eligibility period, former spouse coverage may not be established thereafter. Thus, even though a member may not have notified the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) of the divorce and continued to pay premiums for spouse coverage after the divorce, the former spouse is not eligible for annuity payments upon the member's death. Recommendation: Although there is no evidence of Air Force...
The member elected child only coverage based on full retired pay prior to his on 21 Oct 95 and sent the Defense Finance and 1 May 95 retirement. Because the member's divorce decree did not address the SBP, there was no requirement for him to elect former spouse coverage, but he could have done so voluntarily. It is our opinion that the 17 Apr 96 court order is not enforceable because it was issued after the member was already retired.
