Postal Service Employees & Retirees
FEP is committed to providing Postal Service employees, retirees and their families with some of the best health care benefits possible.
Important information about your PSHB member ID card
Some Postal Service members may have received the incorrect PSHB member ID card. Correct member ID cards have been mailed and should arrive shortly. For reference, the PSHB member ID card has a stamp outline around the plan name in the upper right corner. We apologize for any confusion this error may have caused.
Proud to receive approval to participate in the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced that the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal Employee Program (FEP) is approved to participate in the PSHB Program, so bookmark this page to stay in the know.
What you need to know about the Postal Service Health Benefits Program
You may have heard about the Postal Service Reform Act of 2022. This law does not impact your benefits for 2024. But in 2025, there will be a new Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program. PSHB will offer health insurance to Postal Service employees, retirees and eligible family members starting January 1, 2025. You can learn more on OPM’s website here.
Here are some important dates to keep in mind:
January 1, 2025:
