OPEN SEASON - Postal Service Health Benefit Program Info

           Open Season is fast approaching.  The Postal Reform Acto of 2022 requires the creation of a new health benefit program, within FEHB, that will be exclusive to US Postal Service employees.  This new program, the Postal Service Health Benefit Program (PSHBP) will still be part of FEHB and will still be administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

     During Open Season 2024, all employees and retirees will:  a) Be moved into a PSHBP plan, b) Choose a PSHBP plan, or c) be placed into a PSHBP plan.  You control which happens to you.  All employees should receive a letter in October informing them if their current health plan is being offered in the new PSHBP.  

  • If your current FEHB plan is offered in PSHBP, and you want to stay with that plan, you will not have to do anything.  You will be slotted in that same plan PSHBP.

  • If your present plan is not offered in PSHBP, OR you want to change plans, you will make a selection.

  • If your present plan is not offered in PSHBP and you do not make a selection, OPM will place you in the cheapest plan that does not have a deductible and you will be stuck in that plan until the nest Open Season.

All employees should receive a letter in October informing them if their current health plan is being offered in the new PSHBP. 

     The USPS has been providing information about the changes which also include the requirement to enroll in Medicare when you turn 65, or stop working (whichever comes first).  An informational booklet was sent to all employees in August.  If you did not receive this booklet you can find it HERE.

     The USPS is also conducting virtual meetings to deiscuss PSHBP and Medicare Integration.  These meetigns are open to all employees and retirees.  The meetings are held twice per month, two times per day usually at 1200 pm and 400 pm.  You can participate on your computer, cell phone, landline or tablet. 

TEXT "PSHBP" to 39369
to receive notifications of virutal meetings on PSHBP / Medicare Integration
