Federal Employees Health Benefits

The program provides federal employees and retirees with health insurance benefits to meet their individual and family health needs. Because it is an important component of the federal government's compensation package, it also supports the federal government's ability to recruit and retain quality employees.

  • The program has a well-defined program purpose, is designed to meet a specific need, and is generally well-administered.
  • The program has identified performance measures to assess both the effectiveness of the program at meeting individual health needs, and helping the government meet its recruitment and retention needs.
  • The agency has committed to conducting an independent evaluation of sufficient quality and scope. Over the past year, the agency defined work requirements to conduct a literature review.
