#FedFeed – OPM hosts Open Season Twitter chat

Welcome to the #FedFeed, a daily collection of federal ephemera gathered from social media and presented for your enjoyment.

Open season is almost over, meaning federal employees only have a few more days to make changes to their health plans. In an effort to cover all its bases and reach out to younger feds, the Office of Personnel Management held a chat on Twitter to answer any lingering questions.
