Health Insurance
Employees can enroll in health insurance coverage for themselves
and their families at reasonable rates. They enjoy one of the
widest selections of plans in the country. Over 370 plans
participate in the health insurance program. Employees can
choose among fee-for-service plans, health maintenance
organizations, and point-of-service plans. There is an annual
open season during which employees can change their enrollment.
Unlike a growing number of private sector health benefits
programs, Federal employees can continue their health insurance
coverage into retirement with a full Government contribution.

Life Insurance
Employees can enroll in group term life insurance. Employees
may select from among several options offering varying amounts
of coverage for the employee, and may also select a small amount
of coverage for family members. The Government contributes to
the cost of the lowest coverage. Cost to the employee varies
depending on the employee's age and the amount of coverage
selected.
