The Child and Elder Care Committee is a labor management committee formed under Article 8 of the Agreements Between the State of Vermont and the Vermont State Employees' Association. The committee is comprised of members from the Vermont State Employees Association and the State of Vermont. Its mission is to monitor existing child and elder care programs, recommend expenditure of funds committed to it under Article 8, and investigate other options for providing child care and elder care services to all State employees.

Current programs and services sponsored by the Committee include:

• Child Care Resource and Referral: A telephone help line offering enhanced services to all State employees free of charge.
• Child Care Cost Reimbursement Program: Now entering its fifth year, the program helps income-eligible State employees defray some of the high costs of child care.
• Elder Care Expense Reimbursement Program: Now entering its 4th year, the program provides reimbursement for some of the costs associated with Elder Care.
