What Is LiteBlue PostalEASE?

LiteBlue PostalEASE is part of the USPS self-service system that allows employees to manage their benefit elections and payroll allotments online or by phone.

  • Update federal and state tax withholdings
  • Enroll in or change health benefits (FEHB)
  • Manage other payroll and deduction options

Tips for Using LiteBlue PostalEASE

  • Always use the official LiteBlue website (liteblue.usps.gov).
  • Save your confirmation number every time you make a change.
  • Plan updates may take effect in the next pay period, rather than immediately.
  • Download records before leaving USPS. Once you separate or retire, your LiteBlue access usually ends.
  • Keep login details safe. Never share your EIN, password, or PIN with anyone.
  • Download worksheets for plan comparisons during open seasons.
  • For glitches, try incognito mode or the phone line.
  • Non-career workers: Check pending statuses often. Stay updated via USPS bulletins.

Common Problems & Quick Fixes

  • Stuck in a login loop? Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, or try using incognito mode.
  • Forgot your PIN: Request a new one via the PostalEASE phone system. It’s mailed to your address of record.
  • MFA issues:  Reset your SSP profile or contact the HR Shared Service Center for help.

How to Signup to PostalEase?

Before using PostalEASE to enroll or make changes, make sure you have this information ready:

  • Your EIN (found on your earnings statement)
  • Your SSP Password or USPS PIN
  • Your daytime contact number
  • Details of your dependents (name, DOB, SSN, and address)
  • Policy numbers of any other insurance plans you or your dependents have

When you complete your transaction on PostalEASE, the system gives you a confirmation number. Keep this for your records. Your changes will appear in your next paycheck.

Important Enrollment Rules

No Dual Coverage:

  • You cannot be enrolled in both the USPS Non-Career Employee Health Benefits Plan and the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Plan simultaneously as the main enrollee.

QLE (Qualifying Life Events):

  • If you have a qualifying event such as marriage, birth, or adoption, you’ll need to contact the HR Shared Service Center (HRSSC) for assistance instead of using PostalEASE.

Open Season Period:

Most changes can only be made during the annual Open Season unless you have a QLE.

  • For help, call the HRSSC at 877-477-3273 (Option 5) or TTY 866-260-7507.

Security and Privacy

The PostalEASE system follows strict privacy and data protection guidelines. Your personal information is only used to process your health benefits and payroll-related requests. It’s never shared beyond authorized USPS channels.
