City of Wichita Falls Jobs and Profile

The following are benefits that you as a regular employee would be able to enjoy. 

Blue Cross/Blue Shield Health/Dental Insurance

An employee may enroll in one of two Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Texas Health Plans. 

All City employees who are enrolled in one of the medical plans have dental coverage as part of that plan.  There is no cost for the Employee Dental Coverage.  Any employee enrolled in a medical plan may enroll their dependents in the Dental Plan even if those dependents are not enrolled in a medical plan.

 ONSITE CLINIC

The On-Site Clinic is available for use by employees and their dependents.  An employee does not have to enroll in any of the City’s health care plans to use the City’s On-Site Clinic.  However, dependents not enrolled in a Health Plan are not eligible to use the On-Site Clinic.

 ICMA RETIREMENT CORPORATION

A 457 Plan offered to all eligible employees and separate from the Texas Municipal Retirement System.  Offered through payroll deduction, this plan is strictly voluntary.

WALGREENS PRESCRIPTION COVERAGE

Only those participants enrolled in one of the Health Plans are covered by the prescription card.  Dependents covered on the Dental Plan only are not eligible for the prescription card.  

Employees may annually set aside up to $2,600 of income for unreimbursed medical expenses.  This money is sheltered from payroll taxes.
