As a member of Congress or designated congressional staff, why am I no longer able to be covered by an OPM-contracted FEHB plan?

For more information, please contact your agency’s benefits officer. The Senate Benefits Section can be reached Monday – Friday from 9:00am – 5:30pm EST at (202) 224-1093. The House of Representatives Office of Payroll and Benefits can be reached Monday – Friday from 8:30am – 5:30pm EST at 202-225-1435. The House of Representatives Office of Members’ Services can be reached Monday – Friday from 8:30am – 5:30pm EST at (202) 225-3644.
