# OPM Uncovers $106.7 Million FEHBP Payments

OPM matched Treasury’s August 2026 Death Record Confidence Scoring Tool against Federal Employees Health Benefits enrollment records and identified about 50,000 deceased individuals still listed in the program. The review found $96.3 million in payments made after dates of death and estimated an additional $10.4 million in carrier costs. OPM says it will examine potentially post-death claims in the coming weeks, signaling increased payment-integrity and enrollment-verification scrutiny for FEHB carriers and administrators.

- Carriers and program administrators may face closer review of enrollment records, payment controls, and claims associated with deceased enrollees.
- Organizations supporting FEHBP administration can assess whether their enrollment-verification and claims processes can identify and address records flagged through death-record matching.
- The review does not announce a solicitation or contract award; its immediate procurement relevance is the potential for heightened oversight of FEHB administration and payment integrity.
