Open Season has been extended through January 2009
Belated Enrollment Opportunity
OPM is requesting agencies and other administrators (retirement systems, OWCP, etc) to accept belated FEHB enrollment changes through January 2009. Because an FEHB enrollment change could affect decisions regarding enrollment in the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) and the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS), eligible enrollees also may continue to make enrollment choices for these programs through January 2009, using Open Season websites, call centers or via agency human resources departments.
To sign in to Open Season Online, you will need your annuity claim number (CSA or CSF) and your social security number. Once you sign in, you can select from the following options:
Open Season Online is available for you to perform any of the above transactions between the hours of 4 am and Midnight Central Time. If you experience difficulties using Open Season Online you can call Open Season Express at our toll-free number, 1-800-332-9798, to complete your transaction.
If you are not making an enrollment change but need to update your dependent information, please contact your Health Benefit Provider to make this change.
Remember, if you do not want to change your present insurance coverage, do not respond, unless your plan no longer participates in the FEHB program. Your current coverage will continue automatically.
OPM has determined that all FEHB plans offer perscription drug coverage that is equivalent to Medicare Part D's drug coverage. However, if at a later time they decide to enroll in Part D (and they have not gone 63 days without FEHB coverage), they will not have to pay the penalty for not enrolling in Part D at their first opportunity.

Dental and Vision Benefits
The next FEDVIP enrollment opportunity will take place during the upcoming Federal Benefits Open Season - Monday, November 10, 2008 through January 2009. During Open Season, you may enroll in a FEDVIP plan, make changes, or cancel a current FEDVIP enrollment, effective January 1, 2009. If you are currently enrolled in FEDVIP and do nothing, your enrollment will automatically continue. If you want to cancel coverage, you must do so during Open Season. To Enroll, Cancel or Make Changes during Open Season, please contact BENEFEDS at 1-877-888-3337, or visit their website at www.BENEFEDS.com.
