Press Releases

Today, Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA), the Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation and the author of the Family Building FEHB Fairness Act, released the following statement after the Office of Personnel Management announced its overview for FEHB coverage of IVF in 2025:

“I am thrilled that, today, OPM has announced expanded fertility benefits for federal employees who receive coverage through the FEHB Program. In 2025, every FEHB enrollee, regardless of where they live and work, will be able to choose from multiple nationwide plans that offer comprehensive IVF coverage. Additionally, every FEHB plan will be required to cover the prescription drugs required for three cycles of IVF annually, ensuring every enrollee in the country is able to choose a plan with fertility coverage. Providing federal employees with options to start and grow their families will in turn help the government recruit and retain the federal workforce of the future.

Federal employees, like every American, must have the right to start and build a family on their own terms. I applaud the Biden-Harris Administration for this monumental improvement in coverage for our dedicated federal employees, and I look forward to my continued partnership with them as we work to pass the Right to IVF Act and codify better coverage in federal law.”
