The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has announced the creation of a new records system called "OPM/Central-23 FEHB Program Enrollment Records." This system will gather and maintain information about people enrolled in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program and their family members. The records will be used to manage various processes like verifying eligibility and enrollment, handling premiums, and evaluating the effectiveness of the FEHB Program. The new system is set to improve transparency and help OPM respond better to inquiries under the Privacy Act of 1974.
