Two calendars. One of them is not yours.
TRICARE Open Season is Nov. 9 through Dec. 8, 2026. Changes take effect Jan. 1, 2027. It does not apply to the active-duty sponsor. It is not how Selected Reserve buys TRS.
FEDVIP on BENEFEDS is named as Nov. 9 through Dec. 7, 2026. Confirm on BENEFEDS.
VGLI holiday vs the conversion clock
If VGLI is already current: no premiums Nov. 1, 2026 through Jan. 31, 2027. Coverage stays on. The 240-day clock for people still converting does not pause.
