Federal Employees Health Benefits: Payment of Premiums for Periods of Leave Without Pay or Insufficient Pay
-
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing proposed
regulations to rewrite certain sections of the Federal regulations in
plain language. These regulations require Federal agencies to provide
employees entering leave without pay (LWOP) status, or whose pay is
insufficient to cover their Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB)
premium payments, written notice of their opportunity to continue their
FEHB coverage. Employees who want to continue their enrollment must
sign a form agreeing to pay their premiums directly to their agency on
a current basis, or to incur a debt to be withheld from their future
salary. The purpose of this proposed regulation is to rewrite the
existing regulations to ensure that employees who are entering LWOP
status, or whose pay is insufficient to pay their FEHB premiums, are
fully informed when they decide whether or not to continue their FEHB
coverage.
