How do I apply for benefits?
Welcome to the Local 2/Hospitality Industry Child & Elder Care Plan! This site can assist you and your dependents with your child, teen, and elder/disabled care needs.
Check out the tabs above to read about our benefits and how our benefits work. When you are ready, click on the APPLY button on the top right to begin applying for benefits.
Benefits are given to children and relatives who live in the Bay Area. What counties does that cover?
Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Placer, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Yolo
What happens if both spouses are participants?
If you and your spouse are both participants, you may not both select the same benefit for the same family member. You and your spouse can pick different benefits for the same member of your family, the same benefit for different family members, or different benefits for different family members.
What if two siblings are participants?
The only restriction is that they cannot apply for the same person. For instance, if two brothers are both participants, they cannot both apply for the Elder/Disabled Care Benefit for their mother. However, one brother could apply for the benefit for their mother, and the other could apply for the Elder/Disabled Care Benefit for their father instead.
What are “additional” benefits?
The Youth Program, College Prep and Counseling, and the Newborn Benefit can be received in addition to one other benefit.
Can I switch benefits?
You can switch benefits once a year, between the months of September and May. Please contact the Plan office for more information on which benefits currently have slots available for you to switch to.
Where is my reimbursement?
Usually, if you do not receive reimbursement as expected, it is probably because you forgot to submit the affidavit that is required upon the award of the benefit. For details on what paperwork you need to submit to get reimbursed, visit the Get Paid page.
When will I get reimbursed?
You will receive a reimbursement four times a year:
