Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased that beginning this Fall, the childcare reimbursement available to Academic Student Employees (ASEs: TA, Reader, AI, Tutor) will be available to all graduate students. However, there are changes to the process. To minimize confusion and simplify the process for student parents, administration of programs providing financial assistance for childcare expenses have been consolidated to one access point under the campus WorkLife program.
The new program, Graduate Student Child Care Grant (GSCCG), is available to all graduate and professional students, (excluding those students in self-supporting degree programs). Every graduate student parent with a child up to 12 years of age will be eligible to receive up to $600 per quarter, to offset child care expenses; funding of child care for additional children may be available under other need-based programs also administered by WorkLife.
The GSCCG replaces the ASE Childcare Reimbursement Program and starting Fall quarter, students now apply for the funding directly through WorkLife. However, if an ASE has child care expenses incurred during Summer quarter 2013, they should be reimbursed through their hiring unit, as it was done previously.
Attached here is a flyer about the program and how students should apply. Please forward to students in your program. All questions should be directed to WorkLife. http://www.hr.ucdavis.edu/worklife-wellness/uc-davis-child-care-subsidy
