2023 Summer Childcare Reimbursement Program
As we approach the summer months, many parents across SLO County are starting to think about the childcare challenges that come with the season. With school out of session and the need to balance work and family life, it can be a stressful time for working parents. However, we have good news for you; SLOCEA is delighted to once again participate in the County’s Summer Childcare Reimbursement Program! Designed to help ease the burden of childcare expenses incurred during the summer break, this program is available to all permanent County employees in the Public Services, Clerical, Supervisory, Trades, Crafts, & Services, and Confidential bargaining units.
The Summer Childcare Reimbursement Program is available to assist County employees with childcare expenses for children up to the age of 14 who are not yet attending high school. Eligible employees must have had an annual gross household income below $125,000 in 2022 to qualify. Applications are accepted from April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023, and reimbursement is available for childcare expenses incurred during your child(ren’s) designated summer break.
Once your application is approved, simply enroll your child in the program of your choosing*, pay for the cost, and submit a Childcare Claim Form with your original receipt to the SLOCEA office to receive your predetermined reimbursement. Funds are distributed on a first come, first serve basis, so be sure to act fast!
