The SBP election that you made at your initial point of retirement is irrevocable. You can only add a new spouse or dependent if you did not have a spouse or dependent at your time of retirement. If you marry or gain a dependent, you must notify Retired Pay within one year even though you are active duty recall. You cannot change your SBP election at the time you revert back to the retired rolls, unless it is within that one-year window.
