Adding to the familyNew born twind wearing matching VCU Rams onzies

VCU is committed to supporting employees who are growing their families by providing resources, like this planning guide to help navigate benefits and resources for this chapter in life. 

This guide is intended to serve as a resource for VCU faculty and staff who are adding children to their families and provides a general framework and timetable for planning and completing employment and benefit actions. This guide is not intended to cover every possible scenario but provides helpful tools and resources for this exciting new journey.

The content in this guide applies only to university employees' benefits. If you are simultaneously employed by another VCU-related entity (including but not limited to VCU Health, VCU Dental Care, or MCV Physicians), separate employment and benefits provisions apply to that employment. Please connect with the HR department of your other employer for details about leave and benefits processes applicable to that employment.

See the following dropdown for more info and resources in adding to your family or view the same info in the below PDFs.
