CAA-Information – …Sharing makes a difference…

To qualify for benefits from the plan, couples who are adopting a child must enroll in the plan and contribute $1,500 to CAA.
Because adoptive parents often find it easier to pay in installments, this $1,500 contribution is set up to be payable over thirty months at $50 per month, but can be paid in full or paid off early.
The balance of the funding comes from donations received from (a) members who are not planning to adopt, but enroll in a supportive enrollment at a cost of $50 per month for as long as they wish and (b) free will donations from individuals or congregations.
There is a three-month waiting period after enrollment before becoming eligible for benefits. An adoption finalized during the waiting period will qualify for benefits at the end of the waiting period.
Benefits are available for one adoption per enrollment after finalization of the adoption and upon completion of a CAA Benefit Request Form.
CAA shares up to $10,000 per adoption. In the event the adoption costs less than $10,000, the benefit is limited to the cost of the adoption. These benefits are paid at 100% with no further member responsibility deducted.
Benefits are available even though the member contribution of $1,500 has not yet been paid in full, provided their monthly payments are current, the three-month waiting period has been satisfied, and the adoption has been finalized.
Members who have finished paying their $1,500 contribution but who have not yet finalized their adoption continue to be eligible for benefits until they have finalized their adoption.
Only adoptions that are finalized after enrolling in the CAA are considered eligible for benefits.
