To support APSA Annual Meeting members and attendees who require childcare to attend the meeting, APSA is now offering a limited number of reimbursements (up to $500 per family) to help subsidize the cost of childcare in Philadelphia specifically for attending the Annual Meeting. The deadline to submit a request form is August 2, 2024. All receipts must be uploaded by September 29, 2024 — a new form will be sent for these uploads after the Annual Meeting.
Eligibility Requirements for Childcare Reimbursement:
- Applicant must be an APSA Member registered to attend the APSA Annual Meeting;
- Allowable reimbursements include child care services in Philadelphia (arranged by the attendee) for one or more dependents requiring it and/or the travel of a child or caregiver;
- Only one caregiver per family may apply;
- Preference will be given to applicants in the early stages of their careers;
- Reimbursements are not intended to cover routine childcare costs that a member is already paying on a day-to-day basis and cannot be used to pay another parent/ legal guardian for care of the dependent;
- Reimbursements will not cover other miscellaneous costs related to childcare, such as meals and activities;
- Itemized receipts must include childcare service provider name (based in Philadelphia), dates of service (during the meeting), amount of service, and provider signature;
- All itemized receipts must be uploaded by September 29, 2024. A new form will be sent for these uploads after the Annual Meeting. Once the receipt is uploaded and approved, payment will be made by APSA promptly. A 1099 form may be sent for your records should the federal reporting guidelines be met.
