Employers aren’t governed by any state or federal rules when it comes to how much financial assistance they can provide. How much they offer will depend on their budget and how many employees are enrolled in their program. Employers commonly offer $50 – $100 every month for a set length of time or annual lump-sum payment. Some employers may cap how much assistance you can receive. For example, if your employer’s max on assistance is $10,000, once you hit that ceiling, you’ll no longer be eligible for the benefit.
