For purposes of this Federal Register notice only, the contact at OPM is Cameron Stokes, Senior Policy Analyst, at cameron.stokes@opm.gov or (202) 936– 2847. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OPM is extending the current suspension of applications for coverage in FLTCIP in light of ongoing volatility in long term care costs and a diminished insurance market. The original notice was published at 87 FR 69345 (November 18, 2022) and suspended FLTCIP applications for 24 months, as authorized by 5 CFR 875.110. This extension complies with the requirements of § 875.110(d), which requires OPM to issue a Federal Register notice at least 30 days before the end of the suspension period in order to effectuate another suspension not to exceed 24 additional months. As with the current suspension period, no applications for FLTCIP coverage will be accepted during the extension period, and current enrollees may not apply to increase their coverage. The enrollment status or benefit eligibility of current enrollees will not change due to the suspension. For those in a claim status, there is no change to coverage and the claims reimbursement process. OPM has determined that extending the period of suspension of applications for FLTCIP coverage is in the best interest of the Program. There is ongoing volatility in long term care costs and a diminished insurance market that are undermining the ability to establish benefit offerings with premium rates that reasonably and equitably reflect the cost of the benefits provided, as required under 5 U.S.C. 9003(b)(2).

Extension of Suspension of Applications for Federal Long Term 
Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) Coverage

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice of extension of suspension of applications for FLTCIP 
coverage.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is announcing an 
extension of the suspension of applications for FLTCIP coverage that 
began on December 19, 2022.

DATES: The extension will begin on December 19, 2024. The suspension 
period will remain in effect for 24 months from this date.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You may call 1-800-LTC-FEDS (1-800-
582-3337) (TTY: 1-800-843-3557) or visit https://www.ltcfeds.com. For 
purposes of this Federal Register notice only, the contact at OPM is 
Cameron Stokes, Senior Policy Analyst, at [email protected] or 
(202) 936-2847.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OPM is extending the current suspension of 
applications for coverage in FLTCIP in light of ongoing volatility in 
long term care costs and a diminished insurance market. The original 
notice was published at 87 FR 69345 (November 18, 2022) and suspended 
FLTCIP applications for 24 months, as authorized by 5 CFR 875.110. This 
extension complies with the requirements of Sec.  875.110(d), which 
requires OPM to issue a Federal Register notice at least 30 days before 
the end of the suspension period in order to effectuate another 
suspension not to exceed 24 additional months. As with the current 
suspension period, no applications for FLTCIP coverage will be accepted 
during the extension period, and current enrollees may not apply to 
increase their coverage. The enrollment status or benefit eligibility 
of current enrollees will not change due to the suspension. For those 
in a claim status, there is no change to coverage and the claims 
reimbursement process.
    OPM has determined that extending the period of suspension of 
applications for FLTCIP coverage is in the best interest of the 
Program. There is ongoing volatility in long term care costs and a 
diminished insurance market that are undermining the ability to 
establish benefit offerings with premium rates that reasonably and 
equitably reflect the cost of the benefits provided, as required under 
5 U.S.C. 9003(b)(2).
    Authority: 5 U.S.C. 9008; Public Law 116-92, 133 Stat. 1198 (5 
U.S.C. 8956 note); 5 CFR 875.110.
