Summary
Temporary reimbursement for federal employees' childcare during funding lapses. This bill would create a short-term program to reimburse federal employees who are furloughed or working without pay for childcare costs they incur during a lapse in appropriations beginning on or about October 1, 2025. Reimbursement would be available only if an employee provides a receipt from a childcare provider to the General Services Administration and only as funding is provided by future appropriations. The text does not specify reimbursement amounts, caps, eligible expense categories, payment methods, or implementation details.

Childcare reimbursements for furloughed federal workers
If enacted, some federal workers could get paid back for childcare during the funding lapse starting on or about October 1, 2025. You would need to be furloughed or working without a paycheck during that lapse. You would have to send a receipt from your childcare provider to the General Services Administration. The bill does not set payment amounts or caps. Payments would only be made if Congress provides money (subject to appropriations).
