HR 7868 United States House · 118th Congress

FEHB Protection Act

This bill, HR 7868 (FEHB Protection Act), requires federal agencies to verify the eligibility of family members added to the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program. It mandates agencies to confirm qualifying life events (like marriage or birth) and review documents such as marriage or birth certificates during enrollment or open seasons. The bill also requires a 3-year audit to check family coverage eligibility and a 6-month process to disenroll individuals not eligible for FEHB coverage. These changes aim to prevent fraud by ensuring only qualifying family members are covered under the program.
