Although changes to your health plan are made during Open Season, whether you are FERS or CSRS, certain qualifying events such as change in family status, change in employment or loss of your FEHB coverage, allow changes to be made at the time the event happens.
Open season runs from the Monday of the second full work week in November through the Monday of the second full work week in December. Employees have a menu of plans to choose from that are also available to retirees. Retirees should always take the opportunity to explore what benefit options are available to them in retirement.
