Bill > LB339

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to provide an annual report by February 1st detailing claims reimbursed through the federal Child Care Subsidy program in the previous calendar year. The report must include specific data breakdowns for children under and over six years of age, including the number of paid full and partial day units by month and the aggregate reimbursement amounts for each age group. This reporting requirement is being added to existing legislation that governs social services and child care assistance in the state. The bill builds upon existing provisions related to the Child Care Subsidy program, which provides financial assistance to families for child care services based on income levels, and aims to increase transparency by mandating detailed annual reporting about program utilization. The new reporting requirement will help stakeholders and policymakers understand how the child care subsidy program is being used across different age groups and potentially inform future policy decisions.
