Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) partners with Educational Systems Federal Credit Union (FCU) to offer a Summer Pay program. Depositing a portion of your pay during the school year into a Premium Summer Pay* account can help you save for the summer months, whether you are a 10- or 12-month employee. This account offers a high annual percentage yield (APY).
During the school year, a designated portion of your net salary is directly deposited into your Premium Summer Pay account from your MCPS pay. In the summer, your money is automatically transferred to your Educational Systems FCU regular savings or checking account, or to an account at another financial institution. The transfers occur on the first and third Friday of July and August in four equal proportions. If you need access to your money on other dates, transfers can be made starting on July 1 through Online Banking, Mobile Banking, Audio Response Teller (ART) or by speaking to a credit union employee.
The dates for automatic distributions during the summer of 2024 will be:
