All actively working or retired federal employees can enroll in, change or cancel their health plan during Open Season, which is typically the second Monday of November through the second Monday of December each year.
If you're a new employee eligible for Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) coverage, you have 60 days from your start date (also known as your entry on duty date) to enroll in a health plan.
You might be able to change your health plan outside of Open Season if you have a qualifying life event. These include getting married, having a baby, getting divorced or a change in employee status.
If you’re currently working and want to enroll in the Service Benefit Plan or make a change, note the enrollment code for your family status and the plan option of your choice in the table above.
