Adoption Assistance Program

Hertz offers financial support for employees who adopt a child through the Adoption Assistance program. You’re eligible for assistance if you’re a full-time regular (non-casual and non-temporary) employee with at least 12 continuous months of employment.

You can receive a benefit up to $5,000 per eligible child you adopt, for up to two children per employee. If your situation qualifies, the program reimburses you for a portion of eligible expenses after the adoption is legally final, including:

• Adoption fees
• Attorney fees
• Court costs
• Travel expenses while away from home (including meals and lodging)
• Other reasonable and necessary expenses directly related to the legal adoption of a child (i.e. uninsured medical expenses for the adopted child and/or birth mother, along with immigration, immunization, and translation fees).

Any child under age 18 who is not a blood relative (including a foster child) or previously adopted child of you or your spouse. If the child turns 18 during the year, the child is eligible for the part of the year he or she is under age 18 (unless physically or mentally incapable of self-care).
