Description:
The recent reauthorization of the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act will create some major changes in how States and Territories provide child care subsidies to low-income families. This brief focuses on just one change, the extent to which subsidies are available to parents who are looking for work. Before the reauthorization, most but not all States/Territories provided some level of job search eligibility. Now, the States/Territories that have not allowed this type of eligibility may have to add it, and even States/Territories that already allow some eligibility for job search may have to make changes in their policies to comply with the new law.
