Bring friends, family and colleagues to enjoy a fun-filled day at the stadium. For every ticket sold to employees, $5 will be donated back to the 2023 Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign (CVC)!
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP). All health plans offered to state employees and their dependents have employee assistance programs (EAPs). Included are up to four free sessions for services including mental health, alcohol or drug abuse assessment, child or elder care, financial education, grief counseling, and legal services such as estate planning. 
  • Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program. State employees may be eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Keep reading to see whether you might qualify.
