Child Care Eligibility for GNY Members

Are you eligible for Child Care benefits?

Generally, you are eligible for benefits through the Child Care Fund (CCF) if you:

• Are employed on a full-time or part-time (three-fifths of a workweek) basis at a participating 1199SEIU institution or are part of a collective bargaining unit that contributes to the CCF;
• Have passed the 90-day probationary period at your place of employment;
• Have paid all previous co-payment balances and taxable CCF benefit costs;
• Are not on workers’ compensation, short-term disability or NYS Paid Family Leave for more than 26 weeks combined;
• Are legally responsible (by birth or adoption) for children between birth and age 17; and
• Complete a program application; provide proof of employment and child(ren)’s dependency; and submit all required documentation by the registration deadline, usually October 31. (Visit our registration page for information about programs and to see this year’s deadline.)
