New Jersey S716 establishes a child care assistance program for employers and employees.

New Jersey S716 establishes the Employer-Based Child Care Assistance Partnership Program in the Department of Children and Families (DCF). The program aims to incentivize employers to contribute to employee child care costs by providing State funds that match employer contributions. This ensures working parents have access to affordable, high-quality child care services. Participation is voluntary. Employers and child care providers must apply to participate. The DCF will match employer contributions based on employee household income.
