CONNECT with the CityFlexible Benefits Plan Options for Fire Safety Members 2025
Below are the Flexible Benefits Plan (FBP) credits and options that are available to Fire Safety members.
FBP Credits
The City provides dollars in the form of FBP Credits that you can apply towards your health (medical, dental, vision) or life insurance premiums and Flexible Spending Accounts. Certain credit tiers also have a cash-back option, with the ability to allocate excess credits towards 401(k) or distributed as taxable income. If your coverage falls under a tier that does not have the cash-back option, then you will not be eligible for the 401(k) flex option or excess credits paid as taxable income.
