Privacy Act Statement. The information you provide on this form is needed to document your enrollment in the Federal Employees Health Benefits
Program (FEHB) under Chapter 8, title 5, U.S. Code. This information will be shared with the health insurance carrier you select so that it may (1)
identify your enrollment in the plan (2) verify your and /or your family's eligibility for payment of a claim for health benefits services or supplies, and
(3) coordinate payment of claims with other carriers with whom you might also make a claim for payment of benefits. This information may be
disclosed to other Federal agencies or Congressional offices which may have a need to know it in connection with your application for a job, license,
grant, or other benefit. It may also be shared and is subject to verification, via paper, electronic media, or through the use of computer matching
programs, with national, state, local, or other charitable or social security administrative agencies to determine and issue benefits under their programs
or to obtain information necessary for determination or continuation of benefits under this program. In addition, to the extent this information
indicates a possible violation of civil or criminal law, it may be shared and verified, as noted above, with an appropriate Federal, state, or local law
enforcement agency.
While the law does not require you to supply all the information requested on this form, doing so will assist in the prompt processing of your
enrollment.
We request that you provide your Social Security Number so that it may be used as your individual identifier in the FEHB program. Executive Order
9397 (November 22, 1943) allows Federal agencies to use the Social Security Number as an individual identifier to distinguish between people with the
same or similar names. Failure to furnish the requested information may result in the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) inability to ensure
the prompt payment of your and/or your family's claims for health benefits services or supplies.
Agencies other than the OPM may have further routine uses for disclosure of information for the records system in which the file copies of this form.
If this is the case, they should provide you with any such uses which are applicable at the time they ask you to complete this form.
Public Burden Statement. We estimate, this form takes an average of 45 minutes to complete, including the time for reviewing instructions, getting
the needed data, and reviewing the completed form. Send comments regarding our time estimate or any other aspect of this form, including suggestions
for reducing completion time, to the National Finance Center, Direct Premium Unit (DPRS) Billing Unit, P.O. Box 61760, New Orleans, LA 70161,
(3206-0202). The OMB number, 3206-0202 is currently valid. NFC may not collect this information, and you are not required to respond, unless this
number is displayed.

INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTION SHEET
FOR COMPLETING FORM DPRS-2809
Carefully read the following instructions before completing your request form.
You must make all changes through the National Finance Center.
The enclosed Direct Premium Remittance System (DPRS) form,
Effective Date of Open Season Changes. All enrollment changes
DPRS-2809, should not be used by anyone other than the
addressee and must be signed by the addressee.
DPRS-2809 allows you to change your current health benefits
plan, if your account is current.
If you decide not to make an enrollment change this year, it
is not necessary to complete the form, DPRS-2809. Please
read both the form and the accompanying plan comparison
charts to make sure your current health benefits plan and option
of coverage, especially Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)
plans, will still be available to you in 2015. If your plan is not
listed, you must select another plan during this Open Season
period (November 10 through December 8, 2014) to be
assured of continued health benefits coverage.
Important. You should also carefully review the 2015 premium
cost shown in the plan comparison charts for your plan and
option of coverage. There are only limited opportunities, which
permit you to change your enrollment outside of the Open
Season. If you do not change your enrollment during the Open
Season, you may not be eligible to change later, even if you do
not wish to pay an increased premium cost for your enrollment.
Note: Procedures for Brochure Request. All brochure plan
requests must be made through the carrier from whom you
wish to receive the brochure. To contact the carrier for a plan
brochure, call the phone number provided in this package. NFC
will not stock any brochures.
Section I, Enrollee and Family Member Information. Please
complete all information in blocks 1-34 for the primary
enrollee and your dependents. If your address is incorrect on
the enclosed form, enter the changes in Box 6 and check the
box indicating a change. Mark a line through the erroneous
information of your preprinted address. The address you provide
here will be used by DPRS to mail all future correspondence,
including health benefits information.
Section II, Enrollment Codes and Plan Names. Please complete
the plan name and enrollment code for the plan you are
currently enrolled in 2014.
Section III, Enrollment Codes and Plan Names. Please
complete the plan name and enrollment code for the plan you
choose to enroll in 2015.
Section IV, Authorization. You must sign and date the form. No
changes will be made unless the enrollee signs and dates the
form. Enter the daytime area code and phone number and email
address where you can be contacted to answer questions
concerning the information on this form.
DR57D (revised 10/14)
will be effective January 1, 2015. If your change is processed
before January 1, 2015, the coupons received in January will
reflect the new premium that will be due February 1. Otherwise,
the new premium will be reflected in the coupons sent to you
after the change is processed, retroactive to January 1, 2015.
Acknowledgment Letters. If you made a change in your
enrollment coverage during the Open Season, a letter
acknowledging your change will be mailed to you. Keep the
acknowledgment letter to use as verification of your new
enrollment coverage effective January 1, 2015.
Identification Cards. These cards are issued by the health
plans, not DPRS. You should direct questions about identification
(ID) cards to your plan. Cards are usually issued within 30 days
from the date the plan receives notice of your enrollment
change. Should you or your family require medical attention after
the January 1, 2015 effective date, but before you receive your
new ID card, you may use the letter we send you, acknowledging
your open season change, as proof of your new coverage.
