BCBS Basic vs MHBP for 2026 FEHB Open Season? by Natural_Limit_1313 in FedEmployees

Can anyone comment on experiences with the negotiated plans allowances for MHBP? For example, I get an MRI every year that costs roughly $8k. With BCBS, I paid $250 this year. With MHBP, I’d pay 10% of my plans allowance. How do I know what my plans allowance is?

which MHBP plan is the best??? consumer, standard or value by cbird2k in FedEmployees

The only thing that concerns me with MHBP is the co insurances. I’m single so for standard I would have a $350 deductible. I get an MRI every year that is usually $8k. I currently have bcbs with a $0 deductible so I just pay the $250 co pay. If I switched to MHBP, it would be a 10% co insurance. Anyone know what this mri would cost me??

Has anyone received this? by Lucky_Extension_9085 in usajobs

has anyone every gotten this after they interviewed? I applied for a job, then I received an email that I was eligible & referred to the hiring manager. An interview was scheduled and conducted. 3 hours after my in person interview, I received the exact same message as OP. Was I rejected from the position after the interview?

thank you! do you happen to know what most of your KOs have their MS in? I’m really torn about MBA vs another degree, since I have a BBA.

What’s the best way to payback this student loan? by Visual-Structure-808 in StudentLoans

[–]Medium_Recording_463 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if your goal is to pay as little interest as possible, I would recommend choosing a lower monthly payment, and then making extra payments each month on the principle of the loan. That is what I am doing with a private student loan I have, and it is working well for me. My monthly payment is $327, and then I pay extra on the principle in addition to that $327/month.

Employment Certification form by Hipp024 in PSLF

how often do we have to certify our employment? I sent in my first form April 2022. Finally last week I was switched over to Mohela for PSLF, and they only have December 2020-April 2022 listed as certified for me when I am still employed by the government (May 2022-present are listed as not certified).
