Some Open Seasons Closing Dec 8-9

The Postal Service’s open season site is now live.

The Postal Service has launched an open season site on LiteBlue to provide employees with information about benefits, premiums, plans and more.

The site features downloadable benefits guides, an open season checklist, fact sheets and FAQs, videos and a health plan comparison tool. Additionally, the site provides links to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) site, where you can find more information.

Unless you experience a qualifying life event, such as the birth of a child, open season is the only time of year you can enroll or change your participation in these programs: Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB), Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance (FEDVIP), USPS Non-Career Employee Health Benefits Plan (NCEHB), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and the Annual Leave Exchange (ALE).

Here are this year’s open season dates and deadlines:

 FEHB: Nov. 10-Dec. 9, 5 p.m. Central Standard Time

FEDVIP: Nov. 10-Dec. 8, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
