SB20

Child Care Subsidy Program; income-based eligibility for assistance.

Chamber Passed·2/12/26

Virginia SB20 establishes a phased reduction model for the Child Care Subsidy Program to gradually reduce assistance for families with income.

Virginia SB20 modifies the Child Care Subsidy Program by implementing a phased reduction model. This model ensures that families maintain eligibility for assistance but receive incrementally reduced aid as their income increases. The Department will determine the number of income tiers and the percentage reduction per tier, ensuring no family experiences a sudden loss of eligibility. The model also includes provisions for appeals and adjustments for families with special circumstances, such as those with a disabled member or experiencing unexpected financial hardship.
