Polk County Government is offering all full-time employees a comprehensive Cafeteria Benefits program. The Cafeteria Benefits program is being arranged by Mark III Brokerage, an employee benefits firm that has worked in the public sector for many years. The Cafeteria Benefits program allows you to pay for certain insurance premiums, dependent day-care, and unreimbursed medical expenses before taxes are taken out of your paycheck. Paying for these benefits in this method reduces your taxes and increases your take home pay. The Cafeteria Benefits program includes the Flexible Spending Accounts, Group Employee Medical Plan, Group Employee Dental Program, Short-Term Disability, Cancer Expense Plan, Accident Plan, and Permanent Life Insurance. The Group Term Life Insurance and AD&D Program is paid for by Polk County Government.

• The Plan Year is from July 1 to June 30.
• A Mark III representative will be conducting enrollment meetings. All employees who wish to change coverage or enroll in a spending account must meet with a Mark III Consultant.
