If you decide to change to the SPO enrollment type, you may do so during the FEHB Open Season. The FEHB Open Season period for Federal retirees and survivor annuitants is November 9, 2015 through December 14, 2015.

Would like to have brochures stating benefits and costs mailed to us. Also, do we continue to pay part B if we take the SPO.
For once,just a really good idea. And as a recent retiree,I have had nothing other than good experiences with OPM.
Family coverage is like $360 a month.
Self Plus One is..hold on get ready, this makes perfect Postal arithmetic sense…$375 a month. YES, you read that correctly, it costs more to cover ONE person than say a family of 5. So far everyone says it’s ok.
THINK…IT COST MORE FOR LESS, in what bizarro world are we living in?????
Don’t you feel guilty about copying from others websites word for word every single day? You really need some help.
