The GO MAMA Village
$500 credit. Real support. Her way.
Returning to work doesn't look the same for every woman. That's why Return Ready includes a $500 credit that can be directed toward eligible specialist support through the GO MAMA Village — giving each woman the opportunity to choose the kind of support that feels most useful to her, including IVF and fertility-inclusive support.
The $500 Return-to-Work Credit is included in the Return Ready program and is subject to availability and applicable terms.
