The Adoption Plan benefit is available to all full-time regular employees who are building families. These Employer provided benefits are comprised of financial assistance, providing resources and referral services for adoption, along with a leave of absence for the adopting new parent.
All regular full-time employees qualify for the adoption benefit, which is effective on the first day of employment. Children covered for purposes of this Plan must be under 18 years old and may not be a stepchild. Eligible adoption related expenses will be reimbursed by your Employer up to a maximum of $3,000.00 per child. In addition, the Plan will reimburse expenses up to a maximum of $500.00 in an unsuccessful adoption attempt. You must provide documentation of these charges.
Adoption expenses are limited to one such reimbursement per calendar year. If both you and your spouse are employed by The Ave Maria Foundation, Domino’s Farms Corporation or an Ave Maria-supported employer, however, only one of you may utilize this benefit.
