Required Documents

For First-Time Applicants

You must submit the following documents, along with your application, to register:

  • IMPORTANT CHANGE: If you are a member of Wage or Eligibility Class I or II, you do not need to submit your pay stubs anymore. However, you still need to provide your pay stubs if you fall into any of these categories:
    • You work for an employer that does not contribute to the 1199SEIU National Benefit Fund
    • You want to enroll your child in the Child Care Learning Center
    • You make less than $35,000 per year
    • You are receiving short-term disability, workers’ compensation or NYS Paid Family Medical Leave
  • If you are on workers’ compensation, short-term disability or NYS Paid Family Medical Leave, you must submit a copy of your last pay stub and your most recent workers’ compensation, disability or NYS Paid Family Medical Leave stub. If the pay stub is not available, a letter from your employer is required. The employer letter must include the following: member’s name; last four digits of the member's Social Security number; hourly pay rate; date of hire; and weekly work hours. The expected date of return must be included for members on short-term disability or workers’ compensation.
  • A copy of your 1199SEIU Health Benefits ID Card, listing your dependents between birth and age 17. If your children are not listed on the 1199SEIU Health Benefits ID Card, other acceptable proof of legal dependency is required, such as
    • Adoption papers listing you as guardian
    • Birth certificate listing you as parent
    • A copy of last year’s signed federal tax return listing your adopted and/or biological child(ren)

    If your bargaining unit does not contribute to the 1199SEIU Benefit and Pension Funds, you may submit your participating health insurance ID card, provided that your dependents are listed on it. If not, you must provide proof of legal dependency as listed above.

  • A copy of the Social Security card of each child for whom you are applying. The CCF cannot register any child without a Social Security number/card, including newborn children who do not have one. There are no exceptions to this rule.

If you do not have a copy of a child’s Social Security card, you must provide the CCF with either of the following:

  • An original letter from the Social Security office, showing the child’s Social Security number; or
  • A copy of last year’s signed federal tax return, showing the child’s Social Security number.

If you are missing any of the required documents, the CCF cannot register your child(ren).
