Benefits forKing and Queen County Public Schools (VA)
Congratulations on your new employment!
Your employment means more than just a paycheck. Your employer also provides eligible employees with a valuable benefits package. Below you will find information about how to enroll in these benefits as a new employee.
The Local Choice Benefits, Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts - Please reach out to your Benefits Department within 30 days of your date of hire.
Colonial Life Insurance Products - Please call PGB’s Employee Services within 30 days of your date of hire and a PGB Benefits Representative will help you enroll in benefits. The Employee Services number is located in the contact section of this microsite. You also have the option to self-enroll, if you choose, within 30 days of your date of hire. Please see the self-enrollment instructions in this microsite for more information.
Be sure to also review your group’s custom benefits microsite, that allows for easy, year-round access to benefit information, live chat support, benefit explainer videos, plan certificates and documents, and carrier contacts and forms.
Health Savings Account (HSA)
Stretch your dollars further and put more money in your pocket. Health Savings Accounts empower you to save more, spend smarter and invest in your healthcare.
HSAs are tax-advantaged employee-owned accounts that let you save pre-tax dollars for future qualified medical expenses. You can invest HSAs—and funds never expire.
Am I Eligible For A Health Savings Account?
To enroll in a HSA, employees must already be enrolled in an HSA-qualifying high deductible health plan (HDHP).
The Value for Employees
– Enjoy Lower Health Plan Premiums: HSA-qualified health plans offer lower premiums, enabling you to save potentially thousands every year.
– Keep Your Premium Savings: Just put the extra money you would’ve paid toward traditional premiums into your HSA. Voila! Long-term savings.
– Triple Tax Savings: Every dollar an employee contributes to an HSA lowers their taxable income, funds grow tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified expenses are tax-free.
– Roll Over Funds: Unlike Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), you own your HSA. That means your entire HSA balance rolls over every year—even if you change health plans, retire, or leave your employer.
