Bill > A5413

This bill provides categorical eligibility for subsidized child care services to certain child care workers. Specifically, it defines a "qualifying child care worker" as an educator or staff member who is employed for at least 20 hours per week by a licensed child care center or registered family child care provider. These qualifying child care workers will be eligible for the state's subsidized child care assistance program, regardless of their family's annual household income. The bill also requires the Commissioner of Human Services to establish a process to confirm that workers meet the employment criteria, apply for necessary federal approval, and adopt regulations to implement the new eligibility provisions.
