This year’s open season will conclude Friday, Dec. 13.

Postal Service employes who want to change their health coverage or enroll in a new plan must act now.

Open season, the annual period when USPS employees can make benefits changes, ends Friday, Dec. 13, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.

This is the deadline to enroll in or make changes to the Postal Service Health Benefits Program, flexible spending accounts, the Annual Leave Exchange Program and the USPS Health Benefits Plan (available to eligible noncareer employees).

After the deadline passes, most Postal Service employees will have until next November to consider new benefits options.

The MyHR website’s open season page has information and resources, including a link to a health plan comparison tool from Checkbook’s Guide to Health Plans for Federal Employees.
