The FFCRA is valid from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The FFCRA grants employees up to 80 hours of additional paid sick leave for COVID-19 related issues, including qualifying changes in dependent care. View the link to the right for more details on the FFCRA. If needed, complete the FFCRA application to the right (UCDenver employees only).

For questions regarding the FFCRA, contact your HR representative.

Qualifying University employees may save money on dependent care by enrolling in a Dependent Care Flexible Savings Account (DCFSA). Individuals may enroll in or adjust contributions to a DCFSA outside of open enrollment as a result of changes in dependent care brought by COVID-19. Follow the links to the right to find if you are a benefits-eligible University employee, and to find qualifying reasons for and instructions for enrolling in or changing your DCFSA.
