December seems like a long way off, but next year's Federal Employee Health Benefits Plans are already coming into view. That's from the Office of Personnel Management's recent annual call letter to health insurance carriers. Federal News Network's Drew Friedman and I got insight when we spoke with the editor of the Checkbook Guide to Health Plans for Federal Employees, Kevin Moss.

Plus, for a couple of decades, the For Your Benefit show has aired here on Federal News Network. It was regular listening for anyone planning to retire someday. Host Bob Leins broadcast his final show last week. Because he was such a fixture for our listeners and for those of us at the station, I didn't want Mr. Leins to get away without a final interview with me.
