I have less than 5 years coverage under the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program. Can I continue my coverage into retirement?
• Employees with less than 5 years coverage under FEHB are eligible for coverage upon retirement if they were covered under the FEHB Program continuously since the beginning date of the Agency’s latest Voluntary Early Retirement Authority (VERA), in this case, November 22, 2006, and retire through voluntary early retirement during the VERA period. The Office of Human Capital Management can confirm your eligibility. Employees who do not meet these requirements may apply for an individual waiver from the Office of Personnel Management.
