GROUP INSURANCE PROGRAM

For each employee, the City pays the premiums for $20,000 Basic Life insurance, $20,000 AD&D, and Long and Short-Term Disability, and contributes towards the total premium for medical insurance. For employees selecting the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), employee-only medical insurance coverage is paid 100% by the City’s contribution. Most employees who enroll in the City’s HDHP are eligible to participate in a Health Savings Account (HSA). For those selecting a medical plan with higher premiums, dependent coverage, and/or optional benefits, employee contributions are made through bi-weekly payroll deduction. Eligibility for coverage is the first of the month following thirty (30) days of full time employment.

Proof of medical coverage is required for full-time City employees. However, employees may opt-out of the City’s group medical insurance and receive a pre-determined dollar amount paid bi-weekly through payroll. The City’s insurance program includes a Section 125 Program, which allows eligible employees to pay for medical and dental insurance, dependent health coverage, HSA Contributions (if eligible), additional life insurance, some AFLAC policies, etc., and any other eligible insurance premiums with pre-tax dollars, and/or set aside pre-tax dollars for unreimbursed medical, dependent or elder care. Certain optional benefits, such as Legal Shield, Identity Shield, certain amounts of life insurance and some AFLAC plans, must be paid on a post-tax basis. All payments are made bi-weekly by payroll deduction. Changes to selections may only be made during qualifying periods.

PENSION/RETIREMENT PLAN

The City participates in the Florida Retirement System (FRS), which offers a choice of either a Pension Plan (defined benefit) or an Investment Plan (defined contribution). The City contributes an amount to the selected plan that is determined by the State Legislature. In addition, employees contribute 3% through a pre-tax payroll deduction. The Pension Plan benefit is determined by multiplying the Regular Class rate of 1.6 times the years of FRS service times the average of the employee's highest paid eight (8) years of salary. The Investment Plan benefit is based on the performance of selected funds over time. Employees in the Pension Plan are vested after eight (8) years of service; vesting is after one (1) year of service for the Investment Plan. Normal Retirement for the Pension Plan is age 65 with 8 years of Regular Class service, or 33 years of Regular Class service regardless of age. Early Retirement is any age after eight (8) years, but less than 33 years of service (There is a penalty of 5% per year under age 65.) There is no age or service requirement that must be met to receive a benefit under the Investment Plan, provided the one (1) year vesting requirement has been met.

• Please Note: If you have recently retired from FRS, please check the FRS website at http://frs.myflorida.com* to review the provision pertaining to re-employment restrictions.*

• Age and years of service for vesting, highest average compensation, normal retirement, and early retirement requirements are lower for those enrolled in FRS prior to July 1, 2011. Please refer to the FRS Pension Plan Member Handbook for additional information.
