Does reform affect the Federal Employees Health Benefits program?
In a statement received from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), it was stated that “while some aspects of this law will not take effect until 2014, there are several major provisions that become effective before that time. Among those is the coverage of a dependent until age 26. The effective date of this provision is the first day of the plan year that is six months following enactment of the law. For the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program, that means January 1, 2011. The OPM will take the necessary actions to comply with the new law by this effective date.
