OverviewThe Child-Care Benefit is available to Reliant field workers and employees who need or wish to provide child care for a dependent. Any Reliant employee may elect this benefit (it doesn't matter how many hours you are employed per week by Reliant), as long as the child care costs the employee is incurring and seeking to reimburse from the plan are related to the employee and his/her spouse working (or seeking employment). This benefit is part of Reliant's Cafeteria Plan, which allows pre-tax wages to be used for certain benefits. Some of the IRS requirements to utilize the Child-Care benefit include:
How Do I Utilize This Benefit?In order to take part in the benefit, you must enroll in the benefit annually during Open Enrollment or at the time of a qualifying event. If you miss Open Enrollment, you may submit a Cafeteria Form by December 20 to affect the following year. These qualifying events include birth, adoption or foster placement, the return to work of either parents or a significant change in income. When the Child-Care Benefit is chosen, you select an amount to be deducted from your pre-tax earnings each paycheck for the entire year.

...
How Long Does My Election of This Benefit Last?You may not make any changes to your contribution until the next open-enrollment period. This contribution remains in effect even if your employment becomes benefits ineligible. However, a change in employment or income affecting you or your spouse is a qualifying event. If there is a change, you must reach out to payroll@reliant.org to seek a change to your contribution. Excess contributions not used for this year's child-care reimbursements will be distributed to all participants in the child-care plan based on % of contribution. Your unused contributions will not be returned individually to you, so set your contribution modestly. FAQ
