APWU Health Plan is proud to announce that we have been conditionally approved* to participate in the new upcoming 2025 PSHB Program designed specifically for Postal employees and retirees! In addition, we will continue to offer coverage for Federal employees and retirees under the current FEHB Program.
What does this mean for you as an existing or future APWU Health Plan member?
• We are pleased to provide coverage to both Postal and Federal employees and retirees.
• In addition to offering PSHB Postal plans in 2025, we will also continue to provide coverage for Federal families under the FEHB program.
• We continue our commitment to providing our members with innovative, high-quality products and services.
Postal employees and retirees, please visit our website at www.apwuhp.com/postal-service-health-benefits-program/ for more information on the PSHB Program.
*The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has announced that the APWU Health Plan is conditionally approved to participate in the upcoming PSHB Program and is contingent on benefits and rate negotiations over the summer.
If your child is turning 26 soon you may need to make some insurance coverage changes.
Your child’s health insurance coverage continues for no charge for 31 days after their birthday. After that, they are not covered under your FEHB Health Benefits plan.
If your child still needs insurance coverage the Health Plan will send them a letter with instructions on how to enroll in our conversion plan insurance option. Your child can purchase a Temporary Continuation of Coverage from your current insurer or buy health insurance through the marketplace (www.heatlhcare.gov).
If you want to stay in a Self and Family Health Benefits Plan, typically insuring more than two people, you do not need to take any action.
If you want to change your health insurance plan type to cover two or less people, you need to contact your payroll office. They will be able to switch your plan type for you and reduce the premiums taken from your paycheck. The APWU Health Plan is an insurance carrier and can’t make this switch for you as it impacts your paycheck.
You can learn more about this process by visiting the OPM website https://www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/life-events/memy-family/my-childs-status-is-changing/.
Have you moved recently? We want to keep in touch with you. The Health Plan offers a few ways to update your mailing address.
Ready to switch plans? Contact your payroll office.
