Last year the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) changed the focus and

name of the annual FEHB Program Open Season to the more inclusive Federal

Benefits Open Season. Since two benefit programs, FSAFEDS and FEDVIP, have been

added, employees need to understand the relationship among the four choices

before making decisions during the open season.
