What We Offer

Employee Insurance & Financial Programs

Health Care Plans

Eligible employees may choose from three comprehensive, quality medical insurance plans, Point-of-Service (POS), Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), and Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). Dental coverage may be added separately (at additional cost). You will automatically have the UnitedHealthcare Vision plan coverage when you enroll in any FCPS medical plan option.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)

FCPS offers Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for medical, dental, vision, and dependent day care.

Life Insurance

Enrollment in Fairfax County Public Schools group life insurance plans is based on an employee's enrollment in a retirement program.

Long-Term Care Insurance

Long-Term Care (LTC) helps pay for in-home assistance or nursing care in the event you are unable to care for yourself for an extended period of time, due to a chronic illness or disability. Unlike Long-Term Disability, which replaces a portion of your income to cover your normal living expenses, LTC pays for caregiver expenses.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) helps employees and their family members deal with personal problems that might adversely impact their work performance, health, and well-being. EAP generally includes assessment, short-term counseling, and referral services. 

Participation in this program, including the nature of your concerns and any referrals, are confidential.

Employee Wellness

The FCPS Wellness Program is designed to assist employees with developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Fairfax County Public Schools was recognized in 2009-10 by the American Heart Association as a Start! Fit-Friendly company which recognizes employers for promoting physical activity and health in the workplace.
