Bill > HB2031

This bill amends the Human Services Code to establish new notification requirements for subsidized child care programs. Specifically, the bill mandates that an eligibility agency must provide written notification to parents or caretakers at least 30 calendar days before making any changes that would affect a family's eligibility for subsidized child care or alter the amount of their child care benefit. The bill also provides definitions for key terms such as "caretaker," "eligibility agency," "family," "parent," and "subsidized child care," referencing existing regulatory definitions from Pennsylvania Code 55 Pa. Code § 3042.3. These definitions ensure clarity and consistency in how these terms are understood and applied within the context of subsidized child care programs. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving agencies time to implement the new notification requirements and update their communication processes to comply with the new law.
