OPEN SEASON
NOVEMBER 11 - DECEMBER 9, 2024
POSTAL SERVICE HEALTH BENEFITS (PSHB) PROGRAM
The Postal Service Reform Act of 2022 (PSRA) was signed into law in April 2022. Since then, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), in conjunction with the Postal Service, has been working to implement the new Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program, as required under the new law. PSHB is a new, separate program within the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program and will be administered by OPM. Coverage under the PSHB Program will be effective January 1, 2025.
You will have the opportunity to review plans in the PSHB Program and make a health insurance plan selection in the PSHB Program during the 2024 open season period, which will run from November 11, 2024, to December 9, 2024. If you do not actively select a PSHB plan, you will be automatically enrolled in a comparable PSHB plan.
Postal service employees, retirees and second term appointment MHAs can count on MHPB!
