PSHB

Postal Service employees may participate in an upcoming webinars

But there is a crucial catch: Medicare-eligible USPS annuitants who opt out of a PDP will lose all underlying prescription drug benefits through PSHB, according to OPM’s regulations. Any individual who opts out would still retain other plan benefits, aside from prescription drugs.

OPM has issued guidance on automatic enrollment in the Postal Service Health Benefits program for 2025 if U.S. Postal Service employees and retirees currently covered by the FEHB do not specifically elect an insurance plan in that new program during the open season this fall.

Postal Service employees may participate in an upcoming webinar that will address benefits available after retirement.

Special Enrollment Period: If you were an annuitant entitled to Medicare Part A (typically at age 65) as of Jan. 1, 2024, and did not enroll in Medicare Part B, you and your covered eligible family members may be able to participate in the one-time PSHB Special

A “leap of faith” is defined in different ways, but most commonly it involves acting without knowing the exact consequences but having trust not based in reason, that it will come out right.

This proposed rule expands on previous regulations concerning the PSHB Program and is intended to provide greater detail and clarity necessary to properly implement PSHB in 2025 and beyond.
