FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT
The Medical FSA allows you to set aside pretax money from your paycheck to pay for out-of-pocket health care costs. HCA contracts with Navia Benefit Solutions to process claims and provide customer service for SEBB members.
Department of Retirement Services (DRS)
As a public employee in Washington, you’re eligible for retirement benefits administered by the Department of Retirement Services (DRS).
There is a secondary retirement plan called the Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP) that we also highly recommend! The DCP is a special type of savings program that helps you invest for the retirement lifestyle you want to achieve—a lifestyle that might be hard to reach with just your pension and Social Security. This is not a requirement and you may opt in and out at any time.
Teachers, instructional administrators w/ a certificate
If you are hired into an eligible instructional school based position, you are a member of the Teacher Retirement System (TRS). An instructional school based position is anyone who is certified to teach and is employed by Impact as an instructor, administrator or supervisor.

Non instructional staff
If you are hired into an eligible non instructional school based position, you are a member of School Employee Retirement System (SERS). A school based position is anyone who is not in a teaching position and is employed by a public school as school support staff.
