Federal Employee Health Benefits
The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program is open to almost all of the government’s civilian employees on a voluntary basis. Exceptions are those workers who
are serving their first year of federal employment under a temporary appointment, employed on an intermittent basis, or otherwise excluded by law or regulation.
By enrolling in an FEHB
plan, employees have an opportunity to acquire protection against the cost of health care service for themselves and their families, including individuals suffering from prolonged illnesses
or involved in serious accidents. Moreover, these health insurance benefits may be retained by employees after retirement, if they retire under certain conditions and meet certain requirements.
