Bill > HF104

This bill proposes to amend the state's child care assistance program in two key ways. First, it increases the income eligibility threshold from 145% to 200% of the federal poverty level for families who are employed or participating in an approved training or education program for at least 28 hours per week. Second, it directs the Department of Human Services to adjust the child care assistance copayment schedule in incremental amounts for families with incomes up to 200% of the federal poverty level, with the new rules taking effect on January 1, 2020.
