  • What is the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP)? View more
    President George W. Bush signed The Federal Employee Dental and Vision Benefits Enhancement Act of 2004 into law on December 23, 2004. The Act authorizes OPM to establish arrangements under which supplemental dental and vision benefits are made available to Federal and U.S. Postal Service employees, retirees, and their eligible family members, and the law gives OPM broad contracting authority to leverage the purchasing power of Federal enrollees to provide comprehensive benefits with competitive premiums.

  • Can a retiree apply for dental or vision insurance under the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP)? View more
    Federal civilian annuitants are eligible to enroll in FEDVIP and may apply for dental and vision insurance under FEDVIP.  If enrolled, retirees automatically carry FEDVIP coverage into retirement if they retired on an immediate annuity under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) or another retirement system for employees of the Federal government. Individuals who retire for disability under CSRS, FERS, or another retirement system for employees of the Federal government are also eligible.  Federal Civilian Annuitants do not have to be eligible for FEHB coverage. There is no "five year rule" for continuing coverage into retirement like there is in the FEHB Program and the FEGLI Program.   For more information on FEDVIP eligibility, please see the BENEFEDS website
