Correction

An item in last week’s FEDweek mischaracterized one aspect of the Bush administration’s proposal to limit the government’s FEHB premium contribution on behalf of certain future retirees. Under the proposal, which still hasn’t been offered as draft legislation, the government would continue paying the full share for who were enrolled in FEHB for their last five years before retirement and who have at least 10 years of total federal service; the 10 years would not have to be continuous before retirement.
