Federal Employees Health Benefits Program Handbook

January 24, 2001 Handbook Changes

We updated the FEHB Handbook in the following area:

In Eligibility and Election, we added three categories under "Eligibility for Health Benefits" to make clear that Presidential appointees appointed to fill an unexpired term, temporary employees who receive provisional appointments as defined in 5 CFR 316.401 and 316.403, and acting postmasters are eligible for FEHB benefits. This information has always been in the FEHB Handbook; it is now in a more prominent location
