Tried to when I turned 65 to ask about FEHB vis-a-vis Medicare. I could not even get through to OPM, let alone talk to anyone. Finally, I called CMS and a rep there advised me on what to do.

As a retired fed, retirement services and FEHB are almost completely online now.

Having seen and worked with my share of "contractors", they'd be the first ones out the door if I had my way. My experience was what contractors did was go to career civil servants for information, then present it as their own.
