SUMMARY: CIA is considering major benefit changes in two stages.
The first step is to allow staff to pay for benefits using pre-tax
dollars. The second step is to allow staff to select the specific
benefits they need from an available list of options.
CONCLUSION: These changes will result in CIA staff being provided
significantly greater benefits and greater total compensation than
other federal staff within and outside of the intelligence
community. Action should be deferred by CIA until panel
conclusions and recommendations are reached in the compensation and
benefits area.
DETAILS: Phase two of the plan would involve selection of benefits
from life insurance, health insurance with a number of coverage
options, child care and elder care. Fund sources are the current
government contribution, cash in of up to 40 hours of annual leave,
a salary reduction of up to $5,000.00, and direct employee
payment. Payment would be in pre-tax dollars and would require
that CIA withdraw from the government health insurance program.
RECOMMENDATION: Include panel conclusion in September 1 report to
Congress.
