Growing Family Benefits and Programs
Growing your family is an exciting time! But it can also feel stressful or confusing. WINFertility and Cleo are here to help guide you through the parenting journey.
Support to grow your family with WINFertility
No matter how you grow your family, H&R Block is here to help. The new Family Building Benefit assists eligible associates and their families with adoption, surrogacy and infertility expenses. The Family Building Benefit will reimburse up to a combined lifetime maximum of $30,000 in qualified fertility and/or adoption and surrogacy costs for eligible associates and their families. The Family Building Benefit consists of two components: the H&R Block Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement Program and coverage of certain fertility expenses under the Anthem medical plan.
If you have questions or would like to learn more, your first step is to contact a nurse care manager at WINFertility. These specially trained care managers will help you throughout the process with an individualized care plan. Call 844-846-0349 or visit https://managed.winfertility.com/hrblock.

Paid Parental and Caregiver Leave
At H&R Block, we understand how meaningful time is with a new addition to your family or how important it is to take care of a loved one. We want to provide you peace of mind to take the time when you need it.
- Paid parental leave: We will provide eight weeks of paid parental leave for birth, surrogacy or adoption of a child. Both parents are eligible for parental leave, and this benefit is in addition to the short-term disability provided for the birth parent. To apply for paid parental leave, contact New York Life at 888-842-4462. Refer to the policy for more details, and visit the Life Journey page for additional steps you can take.
- Paid caregiver leave: We will provide up to four weeks of paid caregiver leave if you need to care for a family member who has a serious health condition. Use this time to help your family member get to treatment, take care of themselves, or provide additional support. Associates will need to meet the qualifications for FMLA leave or the H&R Block Leave of Absence policy to be eligible for paid caregiver leave. To apply for paid caregiver leave, contact New York Life at 888-842-4462. Refer to the policy for more details, and visit the Life Journey page for additional steps you can take.
