Retirement & Savings Benefits
Texas County & District Retirement System with Options of a Lifetime Benefit!
All Fort Bend County full and part-time employees are enrolled in the Texas County & District Retirement System (TDCRS). 7% of your gross pay from each paycheck goes into your TCDRS account and your account gets 7% interest credited to it annually. One of the many great things about the TCDRS plan is that the ups and downs of the investment market don’t affect your account. Whether the market does well or does poorly, your account still gets the 7% interest rate. The County matches 2:1 at retirement. TCDRS members are eligible for retirement upon meeting one of the following criteria:
- Age 60 with 8 years of service; or
- Any age with 30 years of service; or
- Your age plus your years of service equals 75 (also called the Rule of 75)
Fort Bend County employees have an option of saving additional money for retirement by choosing from one of three 457(b) plan vendors. A 457(b) plan - government’s version of a 401(k) plan - allows employees to defer additional salary to help in funding their retirement. Contributions are made with pre-tax dollars, which lowers taxable income. Earnings on contributions are tax-deferred until withdrawn. Plan loans are available.
As an employee of Fort Bend County you have the opportunity of becoming a member of Brazos Valley Schools Credit Union. BVSCU offers its members a long list of products and services from checking, savings and IRAs to credit, auto and home loans.
Medical Benefits
Employee Health & Wellness Center
We are committed to improving the health and well-being of our employees and their families by providing high-quality, convenient access to medical services. Open to everyone enrolled in the County’s group medical insurance program – employees, dependents, and retirees – our new center in downtown Richmond offers primary, urgent, preventative, and wellness care services. Services provided through the clinic are offered free of charge to all eligible individuals.
Our group medical insurance is a PPO plan that provides you with comprehensive hospital and major medical insurance coverage. Employees choose from two benefit plans that provide an array of health benefits. You’ll find the premiums charged to employees are way lower than you’d expect to pay for such a great program!
Don’t stand in line at the pharmacy! Fort Bend County employees have the option of using our Mail Order Pharmacy and can go online to refill prescriptions, find a near-by pharmacy or get answers to common questions. Save money by taking advantage of getting 90-day prescriptions through our mail order pharmacy!

Your eyesight is nothing to take for granted. It’s how we see a loved one’s face clearly or a beautiful Fort Bend County sunset. Employees are offered a Vision Care plan that allows routine eye health care with just a small co-payment. Employees may select any in-network optometrist or ophthalmologist and make their own appointments for glasses, contacts and eye care. There are no forms to complete or claims to file!
With today’s to-do lists and busy work schedules, who has time to deal with personal problems when they come up? Fort Bend County employees receive free, confidential help and referrals through our EAP and receive expert counseling, legal assistance, and financial services.
Employees may pay for selected services, including eligible premiums, dependent care and medical expenses through the Flexible Spending 125 Cafeteria Plan with pre-tax income.
