To enroll, change, or cancel your FEHB Plan, you must have a Qualifying Life Event (QLE), see attached SF 2809 (previous versions are obsolete) to determine if you have a QLE (marriage, birth of child, returned from military duty, etc).

NOTE:  You must submit TYPED SF 2809 NLT 60 days of QLE or you will not be able to enroll, change, or cancel until the annual open season (mid November thru December).  The SF 2809 is attached below or you can obtain it from http://www.opm.gov.

ATTENTION:  NEW EMPLOYEES & TECHNICIANS

Please mail your typed SF 2809 (FAXED COPIED ARE NOT ACCEPTED) to: Georgia National Guard, HRO-ERS, PO Box 17965, ATLANTA, GA  30316.  FEHB coverage will be determined by HRO-ERS (generally coverage is effective the first day of the pay period AFTER it's received at HRO-ERS). 

The following are several things employees can do after the SF 2809 is submitted:

1.  check your LES under deductions to verify that premiums are being paid

2.  check MyBiz (see MyBiz link under ERS webpage) to ensure it matches your LES deduction

3.  employees should receive Plan cards NLT 8 weeks from your Effective Date of Coverage; if you do not contact HRO-ERS at 678-569-6441/6422

4.  use the SF 2809 to go to the doctor until cards are received; however it is recommended that employees wait until they receive their cards
