Child Care Assistance

Your Union and your Employer know how difficult it can be to find dependable, affordable child care. Therefore, the Plan provides a child care assistance benefit for you. The children of your dependents are not covered for child care assistance under the Plan. If you are covered for child care benefits under any other source, check the section titled "Coordination of Benefits" to see how to submit your claims.

Your benefit provides for child care at one of the “network” centers or one of the approved “non-network” centers. Your child care benefit covers day care facilities, summer camps and before and after school programs. All approved centers are licensed by the Department of Public Welfare (“DPW”) or their respective state licensing agencies and meet all state requirements for basic child care centers.

Network Centers

There are currently 15 network centers available for Fund participants to use for their childcare needs. A registration fee, equivalent to one week's tuition of $30.00 is required at the time your child starts school. You pay only $6 for a full day, no part-time rate for children attending our designated Tot-Time Child Development Centers, Inc. The following is a list of the participating centers:

Non-Network Centers

If it is inconvenient for you to use one of the network centers, you may utilize a non-network day care center. If you use a non-network center, you will be reimbursed up to $10 per child per day, up to 5 days per week.

Any program licensed by the DPW may be eligible to enroll as an approved non-network center. Child care services at family home day care centers are not reimbursable, since they are not required to meet the same criteria for licensing by the DPW or respective state agency. Also, please note that if your child attends a summer camp program, that program must also be licensed by the DPW or respective state licensing agency in order to qualify as a reimbursable expense under the non-network child care benefit.

Attendance sheets must be submitted for reimbursement no later than 90 days from the date of service in order to be considered for payment. If you would like to use your child care assistance benefits, or would like more information about the non-network centers, contact the Fund office.
