SB294

SB294 amends Delaware's Child Care Subsidy Program to include full-time post-secondary education students as eligible for assistance.

SB294 amends Title 31 of the Delaware Code to expand eligibility for the Child Care Subsidy Program. The bill allows individuals who are full-time post-secondary education students to apply for child care assistance. This change ensures that students pursuing associate or baccalaureate degrees can receive support for child care services, enabling them to balance education and employment responsibilities. The bill also clarifies that certain educational financial aid, such as grants, scholarships, and specific student loans, do not count as income for eligibility purposes.
