Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is modifying and renaming a records system from 'OPM/Central-15, Health Claims Data Warehouse Records' to 'OPM/Central-15, Health Benefits Claims and Cost Records.' This change includes adding Postal Service Health Benefits Program records and updating the data fields collected for the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program. The records contain health service use and cost data for enrollees and their families. The effective date for this change is June 23, 2026.

This update is significant because it enhances the management of health benefits data for federal employees and their families, including those in the Postal Service. By including more records and data fields, it aims to provide a clearer picture of health claims, which can improve the quality of health care services. The June 23, 2026, effective date allows time for these changes to be implemented properly.
