OPM has announced that the 2025 Federal Benefits Open Season will take place from November 10 through December 8, 2025. During this time, eligible federal and postal employees, retirees, and annuitants can review, enroll in, or make changes to their health, dental, and vision coverage for the 2026 plan year.

The average increase in enrollee premium shares are greater – increasing by 12.3% and 11.3% for FEHB and PSHB. Last years enrollee hike was 13.5% – meaning FEHB enrollees are seeing a roughly 25% hike in their out of pocket premiums in a two year span.
