Healthcare Benefits

Comprehensive Plans

The City of San Bruno offers a comprehensive health plan including medical, dental, vision, and prescription benefits that meet the Affordable Care Act Standards and the Individual Mandate Set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) (PDF). The City offers benefits to all full-time employees and their dependents (spouses and children) as well as domestic partners.

After 12 months, you may participate in the City's Open Enrollment period, when you can switch health plans and/or add additional dependents (with the exception of status changes such as marriage or newborns, which can be processed at the time of the status change).
