Dear Neighbor,

I will be hosting my 9th annual Open Season Workshop on Saturday, November 18, at 10:00 am at the Fairfax County Government Center to help federal employees and retirees navigate through the many changes in the 2018 Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) plans, dental and vision insurance programs, and flexible spending accounts.The Government Center is located at 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, VA.

This year, Open Season runs from November 13, 2017 through December 11, 2017.

Our program will include a panel presentation, after which representatives from various health care plans offered under FEHB will be on hand to answer any specific questions you may have.

I encourage every federal employee and retiree, as well as survivor and former spouse annuitants to make sure they review their FEHB plan coverage and other benefits before Open Season ends on December 11, 2017. Federal employees, retirees, and annuitants who have questions or want to make sure that they have the coverage they need and want under the FEHB plans are welcome to attend my Open Season Workshop.
