WORK INCENTIVE AND CHILD CARE BENEFITS WORK INCENTIVE BENEFIT During the first twenty-four (24) months of Rehabilitative Employment during which a Monthly Benefit is payable, we will not offset earnings from such Rehabilitative Employment until the sum of: (1) the Monthly Benefit prior to offsets with Other Income Benefits; and (2) earnings from Rehabilitative Employment; exceed 100% of the Insured's Covered Monthly Earnings. If the sum above exceeds 100% of Covered Monthly Earnings, our Benefit Amount will be reduced by such excess amount until the sum of (1) and (2) above equals 100%. CHILD CARE BENEFIT We will allow a Child Care Benefit to an Insured if: (1) the Insured is receiving benefits under the Work Incentive Benefit; (2) the Insured's Child(ren) is (are) under 14 years of age; (3) the child care is provided by a non-relative; and (4) the charges for child care are documented by a receipt from the caregiver, including social security number or taxpayer identification number. During the twenty-four (24) month period in which the Insured is eligible for the Work Incentive Benefit, an amount equal to actual expenses incurred for child care, up to a maximum of $250.00 per month, will be added to the Insured's Covered Monthly Earnings when calculating the Benefit Amount under the Work Incentive Benefit. Child(ren) means: the Insured's unmarried child(ren), including any foster child, adopted child or step child who resides in the Insured's home and is financially dependent on the Insured for support and maintenance.
