I went back to work as a second career with the Federal government. I am eligible to retire in June and be able to keep the FEHB. My finances are ok to retire so that is not the problem.
The question I have and I'm hoping someone else has first hand experience with this is that because I took this job as a second career and have not been here very long my pension will not be enough to cover the cost of my portion of the FEHB benefits. I have read that I can pay the difference. I am just concerned that somehow payments will get misplaced or there will be some other issue that will cause me to lose the health insurance. I'd love to hear if anyone has experience with this and if it worked out ok and the logistics. My only other option is to work a few more years to make sure I have enough of a buffer to fully cover the cost for the foreseeable future but I'm hoping to avoid that. TIA
