What the document says
“the Director shall issue regulations and implement a process to verify--”
The section may be cited as the FEHB Protection Act of 2025 and requires the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, within one year of enactment, to issue regulations and set up a process to verify the truth of any qualifying life event used to add a family member and that anyone added is a qualifying member of family, including during an open season. It defines Director, health benefits plan, member of family, open season, Program and qualifying life event by reference to title 5 and the regulations.
What the document actually says
“the Director shall issue regulations and implement a process to verify--”

The Director must write rules and set up a check. The two things that follow say what is checked.
What this is about
One is whether a life event really happened. One is whether the person added really counts as family. The rules are due within a year.

Each distinct thing the section does: name the short title, require verification regulations within one year, require the fraud risk assessment to cover ineligible enrollees, require the three year audit, require a disenrollment process within 180 days, and set aside $66,000,000 to carry it out.

The section works alongside chapter 89 and section 8909 of title 5, United States Code and regulations in title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations, none of which is indexed here.
