BACK-UP CHILD CARE

HOW IT WORKS

• When you need backup care, go online or use the mobile app and Bright Horizons will arrange your temporary care based on your particular needs at a local care center in the Bright Horizons network.
• The cost to you is $20 per day, per child, or a maximum of $35 per day,* per family at Bright Horizon’s centers. The cost for in-home care is $8 per hour, minimum four hours per day.
• There is an annual limit of 30 days per family total for any back up child or elder care service through Bright Horizon.
• You can reserve a space up to 30 days in advance.
• Most of the backup care centers can accommodate children aged from 6 months through 12 years. The age range varies by state, so please check with the care center you intend to use.
• It’s important to register in advance. That way the program is available to you immediately if you find yourself in need of last-minute backup care.
  • Visit the Bright Horizons website (username: MorganStanley; password: Benefits4You). You’ll then be prompted to set up your account.
  • Call (833) 224-7075. Backup care consultants are available 24/7.
  • Or download the Backup Care mobile app. Search “Bright Horizons” or “backup care” in the App Store or Google Play and download the register and reserve care from your mobile device.
  • Note: Once you opt in to the service and request care, you will receive a notification email confirming your reservation.

*Note: Employees will be charged imputed income at a rate of $75.00 per child, per day; this will be reflected on the last paycheck of the calendar year.

TOP REASONS FOR USING BACKUP CHILD CARE

• You have a new child (congratulations!) and need care while you transition back to a normal work schedule.
• Your child’s school or child care center is closed for a break, teacher in-service day or inclement weather.
• Your stay-at-home spouse is called in for jury duty or has an appointment.
• You’re in-between child care arrangements.
• Anytime your regular day care provider is temporarily unavailable.

ELDER CARE

Finding last-minute care for your adult or senior relative doesn’t have to be a burden. With the Firm’s backup care program managed by Bright Horizons, you can arrange for in-home care when your regular caregiver is unavailable. Through the program, you have access to in-home care for adult relatives,* no matter where they live.

WHEN TO USE THE SERVICE: SOME EXAMPLES

• Your parents have a regular in-home care provider who is out sick or on vacation.
• Your grandparents live out of state and need care.
• Your parents live with your sister and your sister needs a break.
• Your spouse (or other adult family member) is recovering from an illness or injury and needs assistance.

HOW IT WORKS

• The copayment for in-home care is $8 per hour.
• Employees can use up to 30 in-home adult/elder care days per calendar year (4-hour minimum up to a 10-hour daily maximum). For example, if you register for backup in-home adult care for three recipients in the same location on the same day, that day counts as one of your five annual uses per calendar year.
• You can also reserve back up in-home adult care up to 30 days in advance.

IMPORTANT
It’s strongly recommended that you register for the program in advance. That way the program is immediately available if you find yourself in need of last-minute care. Register by calling or visiting the site.
