Background
The Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program
Enrollment System uses BENEFEDS, which is the secure enrollment website
sponsored by OPM that allows eligible individuals to enroll or change
enrollment in a FEDVIP plan. Eligible individuals use the system to
enroll or change enrollment during the annual Federal Benefits Open
Season or when experiencing a qualifying life event during the plan
year under 5 CFR 894.101. FEDVIP is available to eligible Federal
civilian and U.S. Postal Service (USPS) employees, retirees
(annuitants), survivor annuitants, compensationers, and their eligible
family members (dependents); and certain TRICARE-eligible individuals
(TEIs) who are authorized under section 715 of Public Law 114-328, on
an enrollee-pay-all basis. There is no government contribution toward
premiums.
OPM uses this enrollment system to carry out its responsibility to
administer FEDVIP in accordance with 5 U.S.C. chapters 89A and 89B and
implementing regulations (5 CFR part 894). Additionally, to align with
Executive Order 14168, Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism
and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, OPM plans to
change information relating to gender in this information collection
where appropriate.
