A 6060 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Division of Family Development to maintain waiting list for persons applying for State's child care assistance program.

This bill requires New Jersey's Division of Family Development (part of the Department of Human Services) to maintain a waiting list for income-eligible applicants denied child care assistance due to limited funding. It mandates the division to create procedures for adding applicants to the list, notify them when funding becomes available (e.g., via website updates), and publish an annual report with key data like total applications, approved applicants, denied applicants, and those on the waiting list. The report must be posted online and sent to the Governor and Legislature. This directly affects low-income families seeking child care assistance who are temporarily unable to receive aid due to budget constraints.
