The City of Fullerton provides a comprehensive set of health benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life and disability coverage for eligible active employees, as well as access to medical and dental group coverage for eligible retirees. There are a number of coverage options to let you personalize your benefits. Review the links below for information about your benefits and the costs associated with the plan. City contributions are determined through collective bargaining.

If you are a regular full-time employee working at least 30 hours per week, you and your eligible dependents may participate in City of Fullerton's benefits program. Eligible dependents include: legally married spouse, registered domestic partner, and children under the age of 26, regardless of student or marital status.

As an eligible employee, you may enroll at the following times: as a new hire, open enrollment, and within 30 days of a qualifying event such as marriage, death, loss of coverage, or birth or adoption of a child.

The City's benefit plans are effective January 1st through December 31st. There is an annual open enrollment period each year, during which you can make new benefit elections for the following January 1st effective date. Once you make your benefit elections, you cannot change them throughout the year unless you experience a qualifying event as defined by the IRS.

Coverage for a new dependent is not automatic. If you experience a qualifying event, you have 30 days to update your coverage. Please contact Human Resources immediately following a qualifying event to complete the appropriate election forms as needed.
