The Federal Employees Health Benefits Program helps protect you and your eligible family members from the expenses of illness and accident. It is a voluntary program. Whether you enroll or not is entirely up to you; but, if you are eligible, you are encouraged to enroll for this protection. If you do enroll, you may cancel your enrollment at any time. If you don't enroll at your first opportunity, you won't be able to enroll until Open Season or until another event permitting enrollment occurs.
**You will not be eligible for health benefits coverage after retirement unless you are enrolled before you retire and meet all the requirements for continuation of enrollment after retirement (see retirement page).
