Open season begins next week

Open season, the annual period when Postal Service employees can enroll in or change their health benefits, begins Monday, Nov. 11.

A variety of health, vision and dental coverage is available through the following plans and programs:

• The new Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program;

• The USPS Health Benefits Plan, for eligible precareer and casual employees only;

• The Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program; and

• A new flexible spending accounts program.

A Login.gov account is required to access the Postal Service Health Benefits System, the new PSHB enrollment platform.

The MyHR website’s open season page will have resources to help employees prepare, including a link to a free health plan comparison tool from Checkbook’s Guide to Health Plans for Federal Employees.

USPS will provide additional information throughout open season, which concludes Monday, Dec. 9.
