S 3165 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DHS to conduct review of reimbursement rates paid by State's child care assistance program to certain child care providers.

S 3165 requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services (DHS) to review reimbursement rates paid to child care providers in the state's child care assistance program who offer non-traditional hours (like early morning or late evening care). If the review finds rates are inadequate for these extended hours, DHS must seek federal funding - such as through Child Care and Development Block Grant waivers - to cover the shortfall. DHS must then prepare a written report of the review, post it online, and provide copies to participating providers upon request. The bill expires once this report is issued, aiming to ensure providers aren't financially burdened for services supporting working parents' schedules.
