Open Season to Close Mon, Dec 11

As a reminder, Open Season, your once-a-year opportunity to make changes to your health coverage or choose a new plan, is available through December 11.

• All employees should review their coverage. The Postal Service encourages you to evaluate your options to ensure you have the coverage you need without paying for services you don’t.

• Several options are available. Employees can choose from a variety of health, vision and dental coverage through the Federal Employees Health Program (FEHB), USPS Health Benefits Plan (USPSHB) for non-career employees, Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs).

• You can explore your options online. Log onto https://liteblue.usps.gov/humanresources/benefits/elections/openseason.shtml to review your health plan and find out what’s available. You can compare multiple plans through an online guide, Checkbook’s Guide to Health Plans, at https://liteblue.usps.gov/humanresources/benefits/elections/select-right-plan.shtml.

• You can make changes online, too. To enroll or change coverage in FEHB or USPSHB, go to PostalEASE  or call 877-477-3273 (select option 1). Some facilities also offer self-service kiosks that allow you to change your coverage. Use the https://www.benefeds.com/ to enroll or make changes to your FEDVIP coverage and the https://www.fsafeds.com/ to enroll in FSAs.
