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 (A1194) prevents New Jersey's Department of Human Services (DHS) from denying child care subsidies to teachers and school employees based on their work hours during periods when schools are not in session for students (e.g., summer break or holidays). It directly affects educators who qualify for subsidies but would otherwise lose eligibility due to reduced hours outside the school year. The key provision ensures these workers are not held to the standard 30-hour weekly work requirement during non-school weeks, though they still must participate in regular eligibility reviews. This change aligns with DHS's existing subsidy program, which supports low-to-moderate-income working parents.
