Employee Benefit: Flexible Spending Accounts

Flexible Spending Accounts, also called Reimbursement Accounts, are a means for employees to pay for certain out-of-pocket health care or dependent care costs on a pre-tax basis.

A Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) is used to pay for almost any genuine medical expense not covered by a group plan.

A Dependent Care Spending Account (DCSA) is used to pay for those costs of dependent care that enable the employee to work. This care may be for a child under the age of 13 or a an adult dependent who is incapable of self care, such as an invalid parent.

Employee Benefit: Deferred Compensation

Employees shall have the option of deferring a portion of their compensation for the purpose of building retirement security in a tax-sheltered investment plan in accordance with Iowa Code Section 509A and Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.

An employee may select the Deferred Compensation Plan Provider from the County's approved list for payroll deduction. There is no waiting period, employees may sign up as soon as employment begins.

Employee Benefit: Iowa Public Employees Retirement System

The Iowa Public Employees Retirement System, designed as a supplement to Social Security, required mandatory participation by all County employees unless specifically excluded by law.

Employees contribute to IPERS through payroll deduction each pay period at a percentage of covered wages. The County contributes an additional rate. The covered wage maximum will be the members’ salary. An employee is vested after seven years. When retiring at age 55 or older, there is a monthly payout of employee and County contributions.
