A3478

New Jersey A3478 provides subsidized child care services to certain child care workers, regardless of income.

New Jersey A3478 establishes categorical eligibility for subsidized child care services for qualifying child care workers. These workers must be employed for at least 30 hours per week by a licensed child care center or a registered family child care provider, have children ages zero through five, and not be eligible for the State’s subsidized child care assistance program. The Commissioner of Human Services must confirm employment criteria and apply for necessary state plan amendments or waivers to secure federal funding.
