A former spouse who has been 

awarded coverage under the Survivor

written agreement, may, within one year 

of such court order or written agreement 

submit a request to have an election for 

such coverage deemed or behalf of the 

member. Such request will be made by 

submitting the proposed form and a 

copy of the court order, regular on its 

face, which requires such election or 

incorporates, ratifies, or approves the 

written agreement of such person; or a 

statement from the clerk of the court (or 

other appropriate official) that such 

agreement has been filed with the court 

in accordance with applicable state law. 

A former spouse is not required to 

submit a request for a deemed election. 

However, if a request for deemed 

election is not submitted within one 

year period described in the previous 

paragraph and the members fail to elect 

former spouse SBP coverage, no former 

spouse coverage will be provided. 

The proposed form, DD form 2656–10, 

‘‘Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP)/Reserve 

Component (RC) SBP Request for 

Deemed Election,’’ will become the 

prescribed form required for submitting 

such request.
