FEHB Protection Act: Stricter Verification for Federal Employee Health Coverage.
This Act mandates strict verification rules for the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program to eliminate ineligible beneficiaries. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) must require employing offices to verify documentation, such as marriage or birth certificates, when employees add family members, whether during open season or following a qualifying life event. This ensures the integrity of the program, though it requires employees to provide more documentation when enrolling dependents.
Key points
Mandatory Verification: Employing offices must verify the truthfulness of qualifying life events and confirm that any added individual is an eligible family member.
Comprehensive Audit: OPM must conduct a three-year audit of all currently covered family members whose eligibility has not been previously verified.
Removal Process: OPM must establish a process to quickly disenroll or remove individuals found to be ineligible for coverage under the FEHB Program.
Status:
Expired
