S.2593

New Jersey S2593 prohibits DHS from deeming teachers and school employees ineligible for child care subsidies based on hours worked when school is.

New Jersey S2593 amends the State’s child care subsidy program to ensure that teachers and school employees are not deemed ineligible for subsidies due to the number of hours worked during weeks outside of the school year. The bill specifies that these employees do not need to report changes in hours worked during non-school weeks but must participate in any redetermination process required by the commissioner. The commissioner is authorized to establish resource limits and a sliding fee scale applicable to participants based on income guidelines.
