- Simplify the enrollment process for supplemental federal benefits.
- Ensure access to quality dental, vision, and other supplemental benefits for federal employees, retirees, and their families.
Sponsor
- Federal Agency: Office of Personnel Management (OPM)[1]
Creation
BENEFEDS was established by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management to administer the enrollment, plan changes, and premium payment processes for FEDVIP, FSAFEDS, and FLTCIP. It was developed in response to the need for a streamlined federal benefits enrollment system.[2]
Funding
BENEFEDS operates through user fees and premiums collected from enrollees, rather than a direct budget allocation. There is no publicly specified annual budget for BENEFEDS, as costs are offset by the operational funds from the programs it manages.
Leadership
The program is managed by Long Term Care Partners, LLC, under the oversight of OPM.
