Verizon Summer Camp Reimbursement Program is Open, and includes virtual camps

The 2020 Summer Camp reimbursement program includes summer day programs as well as overnight camp programs and is made available through the Local and NY/NE Regional Work & Family Committees, a joint labor management committee. Summer Camp and Dependent Care programs are bargained for benefits.

Due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will be allowing employees the opportunity to apply for virtual summer camps this year.

The fund will reimburse up to $600.00 per child for summer camp expenses incurred between June 29, 2020 through September 4, 2020, for up to two (2) children per family.

Please note that if you are currently on a COVID-19 Leave of Absence, your "leave" cannot run concurrently during the same time period as your selected virtual summer camp.

Employees who participate in the Dependent Care Reimbursement Fund (DCRF) during the school year can either continue to receive childcare reimbursements for their regular Dependent Care Expenses or if they wish they may enroll their child in a summer camp program. Employees are prohibited from participating in both programs concurrently. You also cannot participate in both COVID-19 Backup care reimbursement and summer camp reimbursement at the same time.

 Applications must be postmarked no later than Friday, October 20, 2020. Reimbursements will be in the December 11, 2020 paycheck.
