ARRA TCC Premiums
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, enacted February 17, 2009, provides a new health insurance opportunity for former employees who were or are involuntarily terminated between September 1, 2008, and December 31, 2009. Under this new law, former Federal employees may request premium assistance for their temporary continuation of coverage (TCC) under the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program. Premium assistance means your former agency will make a Government contribution of 65 percent of the TCC premiums for your FEHB plan enrollment.

Guides to Federal Benefits
The summary information describes each of the Federal Benefit Programs and gives details intended to educate and inform you about the choices available to you. In the case of the health, dental, and vision programs, the Guides list the plans available in each state, premium rates, selected benefits, health plan consumer satisfaction survey results, and links to other health plan quality indicators.
Health information technology (HIT)
HIT is based on broadly accepted standards, allowing patients, health care providers and payers (insurance carriers) to share information securely, driving down costs by avoiding duplicate procedures and manual transactions. More importantly, HIT reduces medical errors; for instance, from misread, handwritten prescriptions and emergency care medical decisions made without complete and accurate information.
Since privacy and security considerations are central to Federal HIT implementation, patient records are protected from inappropriate disclosure.
