Benefits

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals offers a menu of federal and non-federal benefits. 

Federal benefits include:

• A large selection of employer subsidized health plans
• Employer subsidized life insurance
• Flexible Spending Plan for health, dependent care and commuter reimbursement
• 10 holidays per year
• 13 vacation days per year (increases to 19 days after 3 years)
• 13 sick days per year
• Defined benefit retirement plan
• Defined contribution retirement plan (similar to a 401K) with government match

Non-federal benefits include:

• Optional long term disability insurance*
• Optional long term care insurance
• Court-sponsored mass transit subsidy program

*Note:  Federal employees do not pay into state disability plans and therefore are not eligible for state disability benefits.
