The   president shall adopt such regulations as may be required to  carry  out   the  provisions of this subdivision which shall include, but need not be   limited to, provisions for filing application  for  continued  coverage,   including  reasonable time limits therefor, and provisions for continued   coverage  of  spouse  and  dependents  pending   determination   of   an   application  for  accidental  death benefits from a retirement system or   pension plan administered by the state or a civil  division  thereof  or   pending  determination  of a claim for death benefits under the workers'   compensation law.
