Is your health coverage keeping up with your life?
Your health needs, dependent situation, plan coverage, and premium rates can change year-over-year. During the Open Season period, you can enroll, or if already enrolled, make changes to your benefits enrollment. Unless you have a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) during the remainder of the year, this is your once-a-year opportunity to make any changes to your health benefits. Don’t miss out on the chance to make any necessary changes.
To prepare for Open Season, go to https://liteblue.usps.gov/openseason26/. It’s a one-stop-shop for everything you need to know, including information on plan and enrollment types and free access to Checkbook’s Guide to Health Plans. The guide takes you through a few simple steps to find the best health plan for you and your family. You will find every plan available to you ranked by estimated out-of-pocket costs and more. Through LiteBlue, you can also access videos, FAQs, and a link to PostalEASE (where you can make your health plan election).
Once you’re ready to make your selection, you can access PostalEASE from the LiteBlue Open Season page, on Blue, at Employee Self-Service Kiosks, or by calling the Employee Service Line toll-free at 877-477-3273, option 1 (TTY 866-260-7507). If you need additional enrollment information or help using PostalEASE, you can contact the HR Shared Service Center at 877-477-3273, option 1 (TTY 866-260-7507).
Only when you take the time to select the right plan and coverage level for you, can you be confident that you have the right coverage at the right price.
Open Season starts on November 14 and ends on December 12 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Be active and take action regarding your benefits.
During Open Season, you have the opportunity to enroll, cancel, or change your enrollment in a number of benefits programs. To participate, you must meet eligibility criteria.
