Bill > S3868

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 Commissioner of the Department of Human Services must establish a process to confirm that a worker meets the employment criteria and apply for necessary federal plan amendments or waivers to implement this change and continue federal financial participation in the subsidized child care program.
