Each family is eligible for one subsidy award, so only one parent should apply, even if both work at the University. Awards are per household, not per child.\r\n\r\nEligible 2027 program participants receive their reimbursement through the Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and may also choose to make voluntary pre-tax contributions to their FSA, up to $7,500 or $3,750 if married and filing separately. Only eligible child care expenses under the Internal Revenue Code qualify for reimbursement within the subsidy. Your child care provider must provide a Tax Identification or Social Security number and report the child care income on their tax return.
