After one year of service, career employees can enroll in an FSA, allowing tax-free contributions for health and dependent care expenses, including daycare.
Employees can opt into the Federal Long-Term Care Insurance Program to cover costs for nursing homes, assisted living, and other extended care needs.
The Postal Service provides Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance, with basic coverage paid for by the employer and optional additional coverage available through payroll deductions.
