Vision

Does my coverage change if I go back to work as a reemployed annuitant?

Answer:

No. The Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) coverage is the same for all enrollees.


However, if you go back to work and you are in a position that conveys FEDVIP eligibility, you must contact BENEFEDS (1-877-888-3337), if you want your premiums to be deducted from your paychecks. Most reemployed annuitants want to make that change because retirees pay FEDVIP premiums with post-tax dollars and employees pay FEDVIP premiums with pre-tax dollars. If your new position does not convey FEDVIP eligibility you may retain the coverage as an annuitant.
