Questions and answers

Upon separation from the Senate or House of Representatives, your DC Health Link coverage will terminate at the end of the month. If your new position is FEHB-eligible, you will be able to select coverage from the same plans offered by OPM to other federal employees. You do not need to wait until Open Enrollment to enroll in an FEHB plan because your move to a new federal agency constitutes a Qualifying Life Event.
