Tax Expansion of the Pennsylvania Child and Dependent Care Credit! A great initiative! The Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce is overjoyed to share the fantastic news of a significant triumph for working families statewide – the tax expansion of the Pennsylvania Child and Dependent Care Enhancement Tax Credit. This monumental legislation is a true game-changer for parents and caregivers, made possible by the unwavering support of the Pennsylvania State Legislature. First and foremost, we express our profound gratitude to the state legislature, particularly acknowledging the unwavering commitment of the Westmoreland County delegation. Special thanks are extended to Senator Kim Ward, Senator Pittman, Representative Jill Cooper, Eric Nelson, Eric Davanzo and George Dunbar who consistently demonstrate accessibility and a genuine willingness to address our concerns from the Chamber. Their relentless and devoted efforts have played a pivotal role in championing essential causes that deeply resonate within our community. Additionally, sincere appreciation goes to Chamber member Emily Neff and Cara Ciminillo of Trying Together, along with the various Chamber of Commerce entities across Pennsylvania, for their collaborative endeavors in establishing a highly effective statewide advocacy group.

Throughout the past several months, The Chamber has worked diligently in close collaboration, united in our efforts to promote affordable and efficient childcare. Their steadfast support has proven crucial to our collective success, significantly advancing the interests of our community.


Kudos to the State legislature and Continued Efforts from the Westmoreland County Delegation Act 33 expands the existing childcare tax credit program, alleviating the financial burden of child and dependent care for working families in Pennsylvania. This vital initiative aims to reduce tax liability and positively impact our workforce. Employers consistently voiced challenges in hiring due to the lack of accessible and affordable childcare, and the Childcare Tax Credit addresses this issue, providing significant relief to both businesses and families. The new rules now allow individuals to claim 100% of the federal credit, including $3,000 for a single dependent and $6,000 for two or more. Families can now receive credits of up to $1,200 for one-child households and up to $2,100 for those with multiple children. Over 200,000 families statewide will benefit from this expansion, helping them overcome barriers to access and cope with skyrocketing childcare costs. In 2022, the Department of Labor reported median expected childcare costs ranging from $8,310 to $17,171 for younger children. Beyond the financial relief, the impact of this legislation empowers parents to enter or reenter the workforce. The childcare crisis has been a significant hindrance to our economy, costing employers over $3 billion and the state of Pennsylvania $6.65 billion annually. While we celebrate this win in making childcare more affordable for working families, we look forward to finding ways to address the staffing crisis so that we can ensure more children have access to high-quality childcare. Thank again to our state legislatures and our Westmoreland County Delegation for supporting Pennsylvania families and fostering a more robust and inclusive workforce. Let's continue to work towards a brighter future for all!


Chamber Champion on the Month The Westmoreland County Commissioners As we step into a promising and industrious year for our business community, the Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce our esteemed Commissioners as the Chamber Champions for the month of January. This recognition comes as we gear up for a year filled with expanded events, enhanced educational opportunities, increased legislative advocacy, and much more. The Chamber's Ambassador Committee, comprised of dedicated members, has unanimously chosen our Commissioners to kick off the new year as Champions. Their responsibilities encompass overseeing crucial entities such as Westmoreland Manor, County Prison, Juvenile Detention, all County Parks, and managing a workforce of over 2000 individuals. Furthermore, the Commissioners play a pivotal role in handling the fiscal affairs of the County, supervising the Area Agency on Aging, and overseeing all departments falling under Human Services. This significant portfolio reflects their commitment to navigating the challenges faced by our community, especially in the aftermath of the pandemic. In a time when many communities are still working towards recovery, grappling with workforce challenges, and seeking strategies to counter declining populations, our Commissioners have shown exceptional dedication to steering Westmoreland County towards prosperity. We are thrilled to have the newly elected Ted Kopas, along with the re-elected Dough Chew and Sean Kertes, as our Commissioners for the year 2024. Their open and effective communication with the Chamber has been nothing short of exemplary. The Chamber eagerly anticipates collaborating with them on a wide array of issues that will further enhance and uplift our business community throughout 2024. The Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce extends its heartfelt congratulations to Commissioners Ted Kopas, Dough Chew, and Sean Kertes for being named our Chamber Champions for 2024. We look forward to a year of shared accomplishments and continued progress for the Westmoreland business community under their leadership.

His proven track record includes establishing priorities and programs that contributed to the well-being of Westmoreland County residents.

For nearly three decades, Commissioner Chew served on the faculty at Pitt, collaborating on grant initiatives that not only created jobs but also earned him Pitt's highest award for public service in 1999. A lifelong resident of Westmoreland County, Commissioner Chew's political engagement includes chairing the District 5 Republican Committee and serving a six-year term as an elected member of the Hempfield Board of Auditors starting in 2009. In 2019, he was elected Westmoreland County Commissioner, a role he wholeheartedly enjoys. Family holds a special place in Commissioner Chew's life. Married to Cyndi, a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Assistant Professor at Pitt, they are raising their two young boys, Andy and Luke, in their Hempfield home. With a son who is a decorated Eagle Scout and another who recently returned to the area after graduating from Drexel University, Commissioner Chew's commitment to Westmoreland County is a testament to his love for the community and dedication to public service.

Chamber’s Financial Wellness & News for January! The Benefits of Prioritizing Employee Well-being Prioritizing employee well-being is a strategic move for any business looking to successfully develop their business and enhance their competitive edge among their peers. Companies that demonstrate to employees that they are valued and supported as important individuals within the organization are more likely to develop a workforce that is engaged, productive and committed to their work. By expanding employee assistance programs to address burnout, offering and steering employees to resources designed to better support employee needs, training managers to better recognize employee behavioral issues, and offering workplace flexibility, business owners can effectively implement programs that can truly make a difference. Among the benefits employers are likely to realize by adding more holistic employee benefits, perks and wellness programs include: • Increased productivity and efficiency. When employees are happy and healthy, they are more likely to be productive and efficient at work. They are able to focus on their tasks and complete them in a timely manner, without being distracted by health or personal issues. This results in higher quality work and a better overall performance for the company.

• Improved employee retention. When employees feel that their well-being is a priority for the company, they are more likely to stay with the company for the long term. This reduces the cost of turnover and ensures that the company retains its top talent. • Enhanced levels of customer service. Employees who feel valued and supported are more likely to provide customer service at an elevated level. They are better able to build strong relationships with the company’s customers and address client needs more effectively. This leads to greater customer loyalty and increased revenue for the company. • Reduced healthcare costs. Prioritizing the well-being of employees can lead to lower healthcare costs for the company, since when employees are healthy, they are less likely to require expensive medical treatments or take time off from work due to illness. This can result in a significant cost savings for the company.

• Enhanced brand reputation. Companies that make their employees’ well-being a priority are viewed as socially responsible and ethical. This enhances the company’s brand reputation and makes it more attractive to customers and potential employees.

The Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce offers its members access to My Benefit Advisor as a solution for employee benefits, including voluntary offerings. For more information about My Benefit Advisor, visit our website at wccc.mybenefitadvisor.com or contact Craig Pritts at (800) 377-3539.
