Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program: Eligibility Changes

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a proposed regulation to expand eligibility to apply for coverage under the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP). Under the proposed regulation, the definition of "qualified relative" is expanded to cover the same-sex domestic partners of eligible Federal and U.S. Postal Service employees and annuitants. The proposed regulation will help agencies address the family needs of an increasingly diverse workforce, and will enhance the Federal Government's ability to compete with the private sector for talent.
