Question about what counts as "continuous enrollment" for purposes of the five year rule.

Is enrollment at any point in the 60 day window upon initial employment count?

Asking because in the transition from a non-federal role back to a federal role, my prior non-federal employer covers me for an extra month after departure (transition occurred in the few days; non-federal employer coverage runs through May 31).

So question is am I "continuously covered" if I enroll in mid-May to start FEHB on June 1, still in the initial 60 day window but not covered for at least one pay period during which I theoretically could have had FEHB if I got the SF2809 in ASAP?
