Adoption Assistance

What does the benefit cover?

Reimbursement Qualifying Expenses
Through Cummins’ Adoption Assistance program, you can receive reimbursement of up to $7,500 in qualifying adoption expenses per adopted child who is under the age of 18 as of the effective date of the adoption.

Eligible Child – Any child an employee adopts (including an employee’s spouse/domestic partner child(ren)) that is 17 or younger on the effective date of the adoption.

 A qualifying adoption expense is a cost you incur that is directly related to, and for the principal purpose of, the successful adoption of an eligible child, such as:

  • Reasonable and necessary adoption fees
  • Court costs
  • Attorney fees
  • Ordinary and necessary travel expenses (including meals and lodging)
  • Immigration, immunizations and translation fees
How do I receive reimbursement?

You must submit the completed Adoption Benefit Reimbursement Form and supporting documentation no later than 12 months after the date of the finalized adoption. Expenses must be incurred after the effective date of this policy and after the date you become eligible for benefits under this policy in order for those expenses to be reimbursable. For more information, please contact the Cummins Health Benefits Service Center at 877-377-4357.
