The NPMHU and MHBP

The National Postal Mail Handlers Union (NPMHU) sponsors MHBP.

For over 60 years, MHBP has proudly served the specific needs of both NPMHU members and federal employees and their families. And we’re excited to bring that history of experience to PSHBP as of January 1, 2025.

Information about the Program

The PSHB program is new. It’s separate from other programs and administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

OPM will provide health insurance to eligible Postal Service employees, annuitants and their eligible family members. The PSHB program coverage will start in 2025. And it will replace FEHB coverage for these groups. 

Enrolling in PSHB will not impact any of your other benefits, including:

  • Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) 
  • Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS) 
  • Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance (FEGLI), or 
  • Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) 

Postal service retirees can view resources at KeepingPosted.org, like the Guide to Understanding the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program PDF, Opens in a new window. Also, make sure to take advantage of your USPS employee portal, LiteBlue. LiteBlue gives you access to webinars and other informational resources.
