    • You are responsible for notifying both the provider and the CCF in writing should you decide to drop a program. If you fail to notify the CCF of your decision to drop a program within the designated time period, you will be held responsible for any co-payments due.
    • If the CCF is not properly notified in writing of your decision within the designated time period, the program will still be reflected on your benefit history, your co-payment may not be refunded and you will be placed at the bottom of the distribution list by Union seniority and benefit history in the following

    Requesting Program Changes

    You must submit change requests to the CCF in writing. The CCF will not process the change request unless written notification is received. Requests for changes may be emailed to Registration@1199Funds.org. Please include your full name and Member ID number.

    • Only one (1) program change is permitted.
    • For programs that require a co-payment, change requests will not be considered if the co-payment is not paid by the deadline. Please refer to page 26 for co-payment due dates.
    • Program changes are only available within the same program type. For example, you may be able to transfer from one summer day camp provider to another summer day camp provider. Changes between two different program types, for example, from a holiday program to a summer day camp, are not permitted.
    • Changes must be requested four (4) weeks before a program starts or before the provider’s stipulated withdrawal deadline, whichever comes first.
    • No change request is guaranteed.
    • All program changes are subject to the availability of monies, program type and individual agreements with the service providers, to accommodate the request.

    The following situations can result in a loss of benefits:

    Terminations and Layoffs. All benefits will end 30 days after the date of your termination or layoff.

    Workers’ Compensation and Disability. Members receiving workers’ compensation or short-term disability will continue their benefits for up to a maximum of 26 weeks. After this point, all Child Care Funds (CCF) benefits will immediately end unless the member has returned to work. The CCF will require documentation from your employer confirming your return to work.

    FALC Silver Anniversary: Investing in Our Future, One Child at a Time

    FALC Silver Anniversary: Investing in Our Future, One Child at a Time

    This year, the Child Care Corporation is celebrating 25 years of the Future of America Learning Center (FALC). Since the day it opened on October 3, 1993, FALC has provided nearly 9,000 children of 1199SEIU members and the community with the opportunity to build and enhance their physical, emotional, cognitive and cultural growth. Our program serves children ages 18 months to 5 years, culminating in a Universal Pre-K ceremony each year. This summer, we celebrated 46 students graduating from the program. The ceremony was complete with song and dance performances, well wishes from instructors and heartfelt testimonials from parents about FALC’s nurturing environment.

    FALC also holds other events throughout the year, including an annual Father’s Day breakfast, community outreach activities and educational field trips to museums around New York City. The annual FALC Science Fair is an exciting opportunity for students to take part in science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) projects. Students are able to learn the value of science while expressing their creativity among peers, teachers and family.
