New Jersey A1194 prevents DHS from disqualifying teachers and school employees from child care subsidies based on hours worked outside the school.

New Jersey A1194 amends the State’s child care subsidy program to ensure teachers and school employees are not disqualified from subsidies due to the number of hours worked during weeks when school is not in session for students. This change addresses the challenge faced by educators who may not work full-time hours during the summer or other breaks. The bill mandates that teachers and school employees are not required to report changes in hours worked outside the school year but must participate in any redetermination process.
