RIS Goal 1 FY 1999/2000:	A Long-Term Care program is implemented for Federal employees and annuitants, providing that authorizing legislation is passed.

		During FY 1999, OPM introduced a Long-Term Care program for Federal employees, annuitants, and family members. Agency representatives have been working closely with staff from the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a benefit package that will reflect current and anticipated market conditions and give the Federal population the opportunity to purchase a quality product at a group discount rate.
		OPM will work closely with Congressional oversight committees, the Administration, and representatives from the agencies and industry during FY 1999 to define the goals, benefits, structure and financing of a long-term care program.
		If authorizing legislation is passed during FY 1999, RIS will develop in FY 2000 implementing regulations and guidance for the agencies, active employees, and retirees, and conduct open enrollment period, etc. as required by the legislation. The specifics for implementing a Long-Term Care program will remain uncertain until authorizing legislation is passed.

		Long-term Care program is implemented within timeframes described in authorizing legislation.
		Agency HR Directors and Specialists are satisfied with OPM’s policy, technical assistance, and guidance materials for implementing a Long-Term Care program. To obtain an indication that OPM is meeting the agencies’ needs regarding policy, technical assistance, and guidance materials for implementing a Long-Term Care program, OPM will develop new questions for the FY 2000 OPM Customer Satisfaction Survey that specifically measure agency HR Directors’ and Specialists’ satisfaction with these support vehicles.
