PSHB and plan comparison

USPS encourages eligible employees to use the current MyHR open-season resources and plan-comparison tools when reviewing health coverage and premiums.

PostalEASE tasks

USPS uses PostalEASE for certain elections, including Annual Leave Exchange and eligible USPS Health Benefits Plan actions for some employee groups.

FEDVIP is separate

Dental and vision coverage under FEDVIP is separate from PSHB and uses the federal benefits enrollment process specified for that program.

FSA enrollment and limits

Flexible spending accounts have their own administrator and annual contribution rules. Verify current-year dates and limits before making an election.

Frequently asked questions

Does every benefit use PostalEASE?
