APWU Health Plan FAQ

APWU Health Plan is open to all eligible postal employees and retirees, eligible federal employees and retirees, and their family members.

If an employee, retiree, surviving spouse, or child is eligible to enroll in the PSHB Program or FEHB Program, that person is eligible to join APWU Health Plan. 

• Most USPS employees who are eligible to enroll in the PSHB Program may become members of an APWU Health Plan. 
• Non-career postal support employees (PSEs) have access to the PSHB Program and can enroll in the Consumer Driven Option plan. 
• All active Postal Service employees who are in the APWU bargaining unit must become dues-paying members of the APWU, except where exempt by law. You will be billed directly by the union after you enroll in your health plan. 
• Postal Service employees in non-APWU bargaining units (including letter carriers, mail handlers, and rural carriers) may enroll in an APWU Health Plan by becoming an associate member of the union for only $35.
