Health Benefits
The USPS Health Benefits Plan is available to eligible non-career employees. However, Casuals must average 30 hours per week over a measurement period to be eligible. If you are a Casual, you will receive a letter in the mail with information on eligibility and enrollment dates. You can get 24/7, on-demand access to the Handbook EL-520, Guide to USPS Health Benefits Plan, and other plan information online at the USPS liteblue website.
