NEW Federal News Radio Open Season Online Chat with Mike Causey and Walt Francis
How to Navigate FEHBP’s Increases and Plan Eliminations for 2016
Several important changes for 2016 have made this an open season for questions about the Federal Employee Health Benefits Plan. Join Federal News Radio Senior Correspondent Mike Causey and federal benefits expert Walton Francis for a live online chat Wednesday, December 2nd from 11-11:30 a.m.
Mike and Walton will answer your questions about the 33 different health, vision and dental plans and options.
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of Self-Plus-One?
- What are the options for retirees overseas?
- If you are retired, you must shop around. Premiums in many retiree-heavy plans have skyrocketed.
- Check out plans such as the American Postal Workers, National Association of Letter Carriers and the Mail Handlers plans. They are not limited to postal workers.
- If you are 10 year out from retirement, are you aware of the 5-year rule? If no, you risk delaying your retirement or having an inferior health plan when you do retire.
Those participating in the online text-only chat are able to ask Mike and Walton their own questions in real-time.
This chat is underwritten by Wright USA.
