Annual allowances
Members of Congress receive annual allowances that cover the personal expenses of doing their job. This includes expenses for their office, travel, goods and services. The allowance provides additional funds added to the base salary for the use of job-related purchases and costs.
Health care
Congressmen and senators purchase their insurance through an Affordable Care Act exchange. 72% of their premiums are covered by a federal subsidy
. When they retire, they can qualify for lifetime health insurance under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
Pension
After serving for five years, a member of Congress becomes eligible for a pension plan
. Their retirement benefits depend on their plan, age and time served in Congress. A member of Congress can collect their full pension at the age of 62 or if they are 50 years old with 20 years of service. They can earn up to 80% of their final salary, though this high percentage rarely occurs.
Family death gratuity
If a member of Congress dies while serving in office, their family can receive a payout equivalent to a year's salary. This benefit aims to ease the financial burden of the family following their loss. Each member of Congress receives this benefit regardless of age or time served.
Free parking
Congressmen have the perk of free and reserved parking in DC-area airports. They also have various flight perks. Parking and flight benefits make it easier for members to complete the required travel of the role and maintain their busy schedules.
