If you enrolled in the FEDVIP Dental and Vision plans via the BENEFEDS system prior to December 31 2018 and were a previous civil service employee (in addition to being a military retiree) verify that your enrollments are active. I am a Navy retiree who worked as a civil service employee up till May 2018, I enrolled in the FEDVIP dental and vision plans in November 2018. I had need to check my coverage in March of 2019 and found that I was not enrolled. The BENEFEDS system had re-enrolled me as a federal employee and since I was no longer a civil service employee, the system had inactivated my enrollments.

This is National Hero Day.  I personally do not know a Medal of Honor recipient, nor have I met one.  IMHO, all past and present, men and women who signed the blank check, is my Hero's!   Thank You for your Service and God Bless 🙏

All during my late teens, I never knew that the owner of Gerry Kisters furs  (he also owned a cleaners/laundry)was a CMOH recipient, he was-to me, just a very nice easy-going man.

Sadly that liberal college town has removed his name from the airport (to countryfied for a collge town), and anyone younger than me, are ignorant of his valor and recognition by congress.
