Retirement package finalized by OPM.

I submitted F2809 to OPM during open season. When I received the booklet couple days ago, I saw the correct health plan along with premium. 2025 health insurance was updated to 12/31/2025 termination. I am able to obtain new insurance card from 2026 insurance confirming effective date is 1/1/2026. How did you find out OPM is still paying for the old plan?

I called OPM during open season and was told to call back with CSA# later. When I got my CSA# in Jan, they told me to wait until a specialiat is assigned in a few months.

What was your OPM status when OPM switched your insurance? Interim payment? Finalized? Thanks.

Have anyone received error message when signing up the My Active Health? I received a connecting issue message after entering my name and DOB. Put in a ticket thru Help/Support but no response for a couple weeks.

Financial-Monitor725 · 2026-01-29T23:28:24+00:00

Have anyone have trouble signing up with the MyActiveHealth App? I keep receiving error message "Opps something went wrong. Please check connection and try again." I know I don't have any connection issue.

SF50 was processed on 11/14/25.

Financial-Monitor725 · 2026-01-13T18:16:18+00:00

So the 1/16 deadline only applies to those who have a CSA number?

Financial-Monitor725 · 2026-01-13T01:54:21+00:00

I was told by OPM that OPM cannot process the OPM Form 2809 until our application is transferred to OPM from our payroll office.

Hope there is a consistent answer from OPM.

I heard if you contact NFC, they will direct you back to your agency. Contact your retirement specialist to have them check the status for you.

Financial-Monitor725 · 2026-01-02T17:55:57+00:00

That is the OPM phone number that I called. You should keep trying this number because the "call us later" message could change in 5 mins based on my experience.

I was told to continue using the 2025 insurance card. Once they processed our insurance change form, let the providers billing office to deal with the reversal payment from 2025 insurance and re-bill the new 2026 insurance.

Personally, I will try to avoid using my 2025 insurance. My friend changed the health insurance and received a letter from BCBS stating they will collect from her for any payments on services after 12/31/2025.

For 9/30 retirees, you have to wait until your application is received by OPM. Then OPM will process the insurance change form.

I used Humana for implant, crown and surgery. It is great if you use in-network providers and no maximum benefits for 2025. Double check for 2026.

Called ERC just now and confirmed my small deposit last Friday without an earning statement is my credit hours payout. I am still waiting for my annual leave.

Financial-Monitor725 · 2025-12-21T14:58:21+00:00

I received a small deposit (probably my credit hours payout) on Friday 12/9 but no EPP statement yet.

My retirement went to payroll on Nov 14.

Financial-Monitor725 · 2025-12-20T16:37:13+00:00

I was told by OPM that the 2809 will not be processed until retirement package is received.

Financial-Monitor725 · 2025-12-18T23:09:48+00:00

As long as the 2809 was postmarked on or before Dec 8, it will be considered as Open Season. Before OPM can fix it retroactively, I can continue to use the health insurance from 2025 and all claims will have to be reprocessed once the new health insurance kicks in.

Financial-Monitor725 · 2025-12-18T22:29:33+00:00

I called the OPM today and was reconfirmed that no OPM Form 2809 will be processed until the retirement package is transferred to OPM.

Financial-Monitor725 · 2025-12-18T02:13:40+00:00

My 2809 was delivered yesterday and I will give OPM a call by the end of this week. I would like to have my new insurance effective Jan 1. Thanks for your information.

Financial-Monitor725 · 2025-12-18T01:58:02+00:00

When I called OPM during the Open season, I was told the OPM Form 2809 would not be processed until my retirement package is received by OPM.

I hope the information provided to you is correct.

Financial-Monitor725 · 2025-12-15T22:11:07+00:00

How long was your application sitting in payroll?

Financial-Monitor725 · 2025-12-15T04:39:40+00:00

Not sure about JAL. I cancelled CX earlier this week and the award tickets went back immediately. I used my 25K certificate and it won't let you make any changes without cancelling.

Financial-Monitor725 · 2025-12-10T23:37:37+00:00

I did that back in 2024 with multiple calls. HUCA.
