ASSISTANCE IS available for employees adding to their
families through adoption. All regular full-time employees and part-time
employees with a 50% or greater appointment are eligible for the State of
Illinois Adoption Assistance program.
THE PROGRAM will reimburse your eligible expenses
up to a maximum of $1,500 for a Waiting Child, and up to $1,000 for any other
eligible child. Your adoption must be final before expenses are eligible for
this benefit. The request for reimbursement must be submitted within one year
from the end of the plan year in which the adoption became final. See NESSIE at
https://nessie.uihr.uillinois.edu/cf/benefits/index.cfm?Item_ID=2774 for a
definition of a Waiting Child, a list of eligible and ineligible expenses, a
list of required reimbursement documentation, and information on health
insurance coverage for your adopted child.
