Q: During a furlough, at what point does FEHB coverage cease?
A: According to OPM, federal employees will continue to be covered under the Federal Employee Health Benefits program during a shutdown. “FEHB coverage continues even if you don’t receive a paycheck,” said a recent fact sheet from the agency.
