YEAR-END KEY DATE

 Per the Eaton policy, once classes are completed and grades have been received, the employee still has 90 days from the last day of class to submit their grades and proof of payment (or a deferral agreement) to Edcor; any documentation received after December 12th will count towards the 2025 reimbursement limit.

 In order to guarantee that your payment is applied to the 2025 taxable year and to have funds applied to your 2025 tuition benefit limit, acceptable documentation must be submitted successfully in one package by Thursday, December 4, 2025, at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Documentation received after this date may not be paid until 2026.

Acceptable Year-End Grades: If grades are not posted/available by the guaranteed payment date - an official letter, signed by faculty on school letterhead, from the professor, proving good standing stating you will pass with a C or higher is acceptable.

Eaton’s Educational Assistance Program – Program Highlights

 Interested or ready to apply for the Educational Assistance Program? Please read the following program highlights before continuing:

• All employees must fill out an application using Edcor’s online system (click here to login or go to the Employee Center homepage and look for the Edcor app button to SSO)
• To see the list of schools and programs included login to Ecdor’s online system and start a new application. If the school, program, certificate, etc. is not listed please reach out to Edcor directly to confirm if it is an eligible program / school by contacting Edcor’s customer service department at 1-800-314-8851, between 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.
• There are SEPARATE deadlines that need to be kept in mind for anyone using the Educational Assistance Program. Failure to meet these deadlines will result in the application or payment request to be denied:
  • Applications BEFORE or right after the class or term starts: Must be received no sooner than 90 days before and no later than 30 days after the start of the class. Failure to submit your application within this timeframe will result in the rejection of your application
  • Payment requests AFTER the class or term ends: All payment requests and appropriate documentation must be submitted within 90 days after the courses have ended for your request to be considered for reimbursement.
• To guarantee that your payment is applied to the current taxable year and to have funds applied to the current annual tuition benefit limit, acceptable documentation must be submitted successfully in one package with enough time for Edcor and Eaton's payroll to process. Edcor and Eaton will communicate this deadline each year. Documentation received after this date may not be paid until the following plan year and adjustments to annual limit cannot be made by Eaton or Edcor.
