Prohibits DHS from deeming certain teachers and school employees ineligible for child care subsidies due to number of hours worked when school is not in session for students.

This bill prohibits New Jersey's Department of Human Services (DHS) from denying child care subsidies to teachers and school employees based on their weekly work hours during periods when schools are not in session for students (e.g., summer or holidays). It directly affects school staff who would otherwise lose eligibility due to reduced hours outside the school year, while maintaining their requirement to participate in regular subsidy redetermination processes. The key provision amends eligibility criteria to ensure these workers are not deemed ineligible for subsidies solely because they work fewer hours during non-school periods. This change aligns with existing income and residency requirements but removes the hour-based restriction during school breaks.
