In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the WashU Crisis Response Employee Fund was created to assist those facing economic hardship in these unprecedented times. Benefits-eligible employees of WashU are eligible to apply for assistance with pandemic-related expenses and in order to meet their essential needs. Expenses eligible for funding include housing, food, medical expenses for treatments and medications, and childcare expenses.
The Fund will accept applications for expenses incurred between August 1, 2020 – November 30, 2020.
Employees can apply for funds beginning Monday, October 12, 2020 and the application period will run through Friday, October 30. Documentation must be provided at the time of application to support the request being made. Requests submitted without documentation will not be reviewed.
Applications will be reviewed at the end of the application period and applicants will be notified of funding decisions as soon as possible.
