Comment from Federal Judges Association (FJA)
Federal Judges Association (FJA)OpposeTrade association
Summary: The Federal Judges Association opposes the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) proposed modification to its system of records regarding health benefits. They argue that the proposal creates significant security risks for federal judges and their families by creating a centralized repository of sensitive medical information without adequate safeguards or de-identification.
Please see attached comments submitted by the Federal Judges Association (FJA). The FJA is a national voluntary organization of approximately 1,100 United States federal judges, appointed pursuant to Article III of the Constitution. As federal employees many of our members and their family members are covered under the federal employee health benefit plans.
