Get reimbursed for even more wellbeing services and activities in 2024. Look for enhancements coming to our programme in 2024!

You are eligible to participate in the programme if you are a regular Adobe employee, which includes part-time employees who work the minimum hours required to be eligible for benefits. To be reimbursed, you must be employed by Adobe when you incur the eligible expenses and when you request reimbursement. 

New employees, regardless of hire date, are eligible to receive the full annual wellness reimbursement amount.

In India, expenses incurred by your spouse, domestic partner, children, or dependent parents are also eligible.

You can be reimbursed up to ₹48,883 in 2023. This amount is considered taxable income for employees unless not required by local tax rules.

The amount Adobe will reimburse may increase or decrease each year, based on the currency exchange rate with the U.S. dollar. The reimbursement limit is set each December for the following year.

The wellness reimbursement benefit does not roll over to the following year. You forfeit any amount you do not use by the end of the year.
