New Jersey A3450 mandates that child care provider subsidy payments be based on enrollment, not attendance.

New Jersey A3450 requires the Division of Family Development in the Department of Human Services to base subsidy payments for child care services on enrollment, not attendance. This change aims to provide a more reliable income source for licensed child care providers and registered family day care providers who serve low-income families. The subsidy payments will be determined by the number of children enrolled on October 15 and April 15 each year. This bill seeks to ensure adequate funding for these providers, especially given the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
