What’s New for 2025

Take a look at our new benefits and updates for 2025.

Open Season is November 11 – December 9

Nothing is more important than your health. That’s why FEP is committed to delivering the quality coverage federal employees, U.S. Postal Service employees and their families need.

The Postal Service Health Benefits Program

Starting in 2025, the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program is a new health benefits program exclusively for Postal Service employees, retirees and their families. FEP is approved to participate in the PSHB Program, which means we’re excited to continue providing our coverage to Postal Service employees, retirees and their families.
