FEHB Protection Act of 2025

The FEHB Protection Act of 2025 strengthens the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program by requiring the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to verify the eligibility of family members added to health plans. It mandates OPM to confirm the truthfulness of qualifying life events (like marriage or birth) used to enroll family members, conduct a 3-year audit using documents such as marriage certificates, and develop a process to disenroll ineligible enrollees within six months. The bill also allocates specific funding for oversight, including $36.8 million in fiscal year 2026 for OPM and $80 million for the required audit. This directly affects federal employees and their families enrolled in the FEHB Program.
