title: Federal Employees Health Benefits Program: contributions and withholdings--OPM. Interim regulations with request for comments.
abstract: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing interim regulations to describe procedures for OPM's annual determination of the weighted average of subscription charges in effect for self only and for self and family enrollments under the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB)Program. The determinations are a requirement under recent amendments to the FEHB law which authorize a new Government contribution toward FEHB enrollment charges effective with the contract year beginning in January 1999, which generally pays 72 percent of the weighted average of subscription charges.
