Employee Benefits

Albuquerque Public Schools is pleased to offer employees and their families a comprehensive benefits package with improved quality health care coverage, flexibility and more benefit options.

This website contains valuable information regarding eligibility and enrollment guidelines for the Medical, Dental, Vision, Basic and Additional Life Insurance, Long Term Disability, Pre-tax Insurance Premium Plan (PIPP), Flexible Spending Accounts, Long Term Care Insurance, 403(b) and the 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plans.

Our health, dental and vision plans are self-insured, in other words; our premium dollars go directly toward the payment of our health care claims. APS is responsible for the plan design and the setting of premium contributions.

Any premium increases are a direct reflection of increases in the cost of the medical care and prescription drugs we receive. We can help contain costs by practicing a healthy lifestyle for ourselves and our families, by making healthy decisions, eating the right foods, exercising and avoiding unhealthy habits such as smoking and other addictive
behaviors.

Please read all information carefully. Be responsible for your benefits package and that of your family. For additional information about a specific plan option, please contact the carriers direct at their toll-free Customer Service Center number or access their Website location. You may also contact the APS Employee Benefits Department for assistance.
