Federal benefits are powerful but complicated, and the plan brochures, terminology, and Open Season choices can be overwhelming. This four-hour course shows you how to put artificial intelligence to work as a research assistant—one that helps you decode FEHB plan options, compare FEDVIP dental and vision coverage, size up FEGLI life insurance, model FSAFEDS contributions, and understand FLTCIP long-term care—without ever putting your personal information at risk. You will start with a plain-language foundation in what AI can and cannot reliably do, and the federal rules that govern responsible AI use.
From there, every module is built around real benefits tasks: the instructor demonstrates AI tools in action while you learn to interpret, question, and verify the results against authoritative sources such as OPM.gov, official plan brochures, BENEFEDS, and FSAFEDS.gov. By the end, you will have a repeatable, government-appropriate workflow for using AI to make smarter benefits decisions—plus a personal action plan you can take back to your next enrollment or life event. No technical background or prior AI experience is required.
