Staff members recruited to a Country Office are also eligible for a comprehensive medical/dental benefits plan for themselves and eligible family members including domestic partners.

The World Bank also provides basic life and accident insurance to all staff at no cost, and Headquarters-recruited staff can also elect additional life and accident insurance coverage at their own expense. Disability and Worker's Compensation coverage is also provided to all staff at no cost.
