Vision Plan Update

GEBA made administrative updates to our NVA Vision Plan effective September 2020. If you have a GEBA Vision Plan, these updates do not affect your coverage or your plan features. With these changes, plan participants will receive a replacement ID card in the mail from NVA that will include a new sponsor ID. If you have previously created an account at e-nva.com, you can log in and download/print a new ID card using the same credentials. To search for a provider on the NVA website, select GEBA from the list of Groups/Sponsors.

If you should have any questions, please call the GEBA office at (800) 826-1126 or NVA Customer Service at (800) 672-7723.

Professional Liability

Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) is a must for any federal employee, especially for managers or supervisors, law enforcement, and border patrols. It's an inexpensive way to protect your personal assets. PLI provides legal representation and indemnity from the risks and financial consequences of a claim or allegation made against you in the performance of your federal duties.
