Welcome to AFL Hotel and Restaurant Workers Health and Welfare Trust Fund Child Care Plan. When you are ready, click HERE, you have the option to apply online via your mobile phone or computer or print the forms and deliver/mail to BRMS. Ensure that any/all forms are completed and submitted for informal care and formal care.

Yes. The participant and the dependent must both reside in Hawaii.

Only 1 slot is available per family whether or not both spouses are participants.

You will file your claim upon applying for your benefit. For formal care, you will need to submit a provider form (once per year prior to reimbursement or when you change providers) and a payment form to be completed by your care provider every month. For both formal and informal care, you will need to submit a new benefit election form if your information changes throughout the year. The forms include an affidavit that will ask you to certify that the disbursements meet the criteria for covered dependent(s) and covered services. You may reimbursed as often as monthly if the required documentation is received.

Reimbursement is made by direct deposit to your bank account. Banking information is collected from the form you submit when you first file a claim. Usually, if you do not receive reimbursement as expected, it may be because your banking details are incorrect, or you forgot to submit the forms that are required upon the award of the benefit. For details on what paperwork you need to submit to get reimbursed, visit local5.sterlingadministration.com .

Reimbursements will be deposited the first week of the following month, after services are rendered. If you have enrolled in FORMAL Child Care, your childcare provider must fill out the Proof of Payment EACH month, otherwise reimbursements will be pended.
