employer adoption reimbursements
For many of us, with the new year comes new benefits enrollment.
Both DH and I have employers that give adoption reimbursements. We have to complete the adoption before they will reimburse us for any of the expenses, but with our first adoption, both companies were quick to issue the reimbursement checks. And between the two companies helping out financially, I was fortunate to stay home with our first daughter an extra 2 months.
We were reviewing DHs employee benefits package for 2009, and the adoption reimbursement amount from his company has gone up even more, significantly.
We don't have to enroll to take advantage of the adoption reimbursements, but it's a good time to review your new benefits package for this, now that 2009 enrollment is under way for most of us.
