Regular dental care is an important part of caring for your overall health, and keeping your teeth fit may protect you from major expenses in the future.

Flexible Spending Accounts
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a plan that allows you to budget and save pre-tax dollars through payroll deductions to pay for qualified expenses (as defined by the IRS) for the incurred plan year. Dollars invested in an FSA are tax-free.
The Health Care FSA covers eligible out-of-pocket healthcare expenses such as medical copays, coinsurance, prescription drugs, dental and vision costs. It's available to you and any eligible dependents including spouse, children and any other person who is a qualified IRS dependent. MAPMG allows you to rollover up to $660 of unused 2025 funds to the new year (2026). Unused funds over the rollover allowance will be forfeited. For 2025, the contribution maximum for the Health Care FSA will be $3,200 (per individual).
Use your Dependent Care FSA to pay for eligible dependent expenses such as care for a child so you and/or your spouse can work, look for work, or attend school full time. You can contribute up to $5,000, or $2,500 if you are married and filing separately. Any unused funds for the plan year will be forfeited.
Transit & Parking
Another great way to save money through tax-free spending is MAPMG's commuter benefits program. You can use pre-tax dollars to pay for your mass transit expenses as well as for parking at a mass transit lot (e.g. Metro, Marc, VRE). The monthly transit or parking costs must be related to your work commute. It's easy and flexible. The 2025 monthly limits for the Transit Plan and the Parking Plan are $325 respectively.
NOTE: For the Transit and/or Parking plans you may enroll, revoke, or change your election at any time throughout the year.

Pension Plan
MAPMG provides a very generous pension plan to staff. There are two types of service that affect the Pension Plan:
Vesting Service: time counted to determine if you are eligible for the Pension Plan benefit. To be eligible to receive Pension Plan benefits, you must have at least 5 years of Vesting Service. You earn a year of Vesting Service for each calendar year that you work 1,000 hours. Vesting Service is prorated when a full year is not worked.
Credited Service: time counted to determine the amount of retirement income. You earn a year of Credited Service for each year that you work 2,000 hours. Credited Service is prorated for partially worked calendar years as well as for part time benefits-eligible staff.
In addition to Credited Service, your Highest Average Compensation (HAC) is used in the benefit calculation. HAC is the average monthly base compensation for the highest 36 consecutive months of the last 120 months as a benefits-eligible staff, up to the annual IRS limit.
The formula to determine the Pension Plan benefit is: 1.5% of HAC x years of Credited Service
