No matter what kind of support you need, you can rest assured that with Carrot, you’ll receive personalized guidance, created with your unique needs in mind to support you through your family-forming journey. This includes:

Eligible Expenses
- When you use Carrot’s services, DuPont will reimburse 100% of eligible expenses, up to a combined $30,000 family lifetime maximum. These funds may be considered additional income and therefore a taxable benefit. This is important to consider as it may affect the amount of income shown on your year-end tax statement and create a tax liability that we want you to plan for.
