Are my benefits portable if I move to a different agency?

The portability of benefits under the BENEFEDS Program largely depends on several factors, including the specific benefits and the circumstances of the move. Generally, if a Federal employee moves to a different agency, their eligibility for certain benefits, such as health insurance or flexible spending accounts, may continue. Employees typically have the right to retain their existing health plan for a specified period under certain circumstances. When moving to a different agency, it is important to review the benefits options that are available at the new agency. Many federal benefits are designed to be carried over during an employee's career; however, changes in the job role or agency may result in different plans being offered or eligibility requirements changing. Employees are encouraged to familiarize themselves with both the current agency benefits and the ones available at the new agency to identify any differences. It is also crucial to keep in mind that specific enrollment periods may apply, depending on the type of benefits being transitioned. For the most accurate and detailed information regarding portability, employees should refer to the benefits resources provided on the current web page or consult the agency's human resources department for guidance tailored to their unique situation.
