Apply for Childcare Reimbursement

DC 37 negotiated a contribution for city workers to a newly created Child Care Trust Fund in the 2021-2026 economic agreement. Effective Oct. 1, 2025, the Fund provides the following reimbursement benefits for eligible child care costs to parents who are covered by the agreement:

• Licensed Care in a daycare center, group family daycare center, or summer day camp – up to $500 per covered parent/legal guardian per year
• Informal Care from a relative or neighbor- up to $250 per covered parent/legal guardian per year

Claims must be submitted to the Fund no later than one year from the date of service. Only expenses that occur after Oct. 1, 2025 will be reimbursed.
