Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Fee Reimbursement

Partners who are DACA recipients must request a renewal every two years by completing Form I-821D (Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Starbucks reimburses partners for the mandatory DACA renewal fee​​. Only the filing fee for renewal will be considered for reimbursement by Starbucks.

To be eligible for the DACA Fee Reimbursement, you must:

  • Be submitting a request for a filing fee that was paid after August 1, 2016, and
  • Be employed by Starbucks when the fee was paid, and 
  • Have 90 days of consecutive employment before submitting your application for reimbursement, and
  • Be employed by Starbucks when the reimbursement is processed by payroll

​You lose eligibility if you separate from the company, but can regain eligibility if you return to Starbucks as a regular partner on the U.S. payroll.

The DACA Fee Reimbursement will be taxed as regular income.
