Bill Summary
This bill proposes to require the Department for Children and Families to amend its rules and policies to ensure that when the Child Care Financial Assistance Program family share is assigned to certificates for a family with multiple children participating in the Program, the certificates are ordered in accordance with the choice of the parent or guardian instead of automatically by age of the children.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Department for Children and Families to change its rules for the Child Care Financial Assistance Program, which helps families pay for childcare. Currently, when a family has multiple children in the program, the financial assistance certificates are automatically assigned based on the children's ages. This bill proposes to allow parents or guardians to choose the order in which these certificates are assigned for their children, giving them more control over how the assistance is distributed among their children.
