FCPS DRIVER BENIFITS (PDF)

• Everything you've heard about government benefits is correct. They're some of the best available — and include a wide range of choices.
• FCPS pays the majority of the premiums for your medical and dental benefits — typically 70-80%, depending on the type of plan and carrier selected if you work 50% or more of a regular contract.
• Medical Plans You have your choice of PPO, POS, EPO or HMO from CareFirst, Aetna and Kaiser Permanente, plus prescription coverage.
• Dental Preferred Provider and Dental Maintenance Organizations plans are both offered to meet your unique needs.
• Health Care Flexible Spending Accounts It's possible for you to save on taxes because we allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars for eligible health care and dependent care expenses.
• Retirement If you work at least 50% of a regular contract, you will automatically be enrolled in the mandatory Fairfax County Employees' Retirement System (FCERS). You can also choose to make pre-tax contributions to a 457(b) and/or 403(b) retirement savings account.
• Life Insurance Basic term life insurance is available through your membership in the Fairfax County Employees' Retirement System. Additional coverage for your spouse and dependents is also available for purchase.
• Long-Term Care Insurance This is an optional plan available at group rates that provides for nursing home or assisted living expenses for you, your spouse, parents and parents-in-law.
• Paid Time Off You can accrue sick and personal leave based on the number of months worked per year.
• More Programs Other benefits include paid holidays and our Employee Assistance Program, Emergency Fund, Tuition Reimbursement and ongoing Career Development and Training.
