FEDVIP Decision Time Also Coming

By: fedweek

Also during the same open season period will be an opportunity to sign up for or change coverage in the Federal Dental and Vision Insurance Program. The FEDVIP program is open to both active and retired employees and certain family members, following FEHB eligibility rules, but only active employees may pay premiums on a pre-tax basis; retirees must have premiums withheld from their annuity payments. FEDVIP enrollment does continue year to year unless changed. There are about 400,000 enrollments for dental coverage and 300,000 for vision coverage.
