Prohibits requiring parents or caretakers to earn a minimum wage to be eligible for child care assistance
This bill prohibits child care assistance programs from requiring parents or caretakers to earn a minimum wage to qualify for support. By removing this earnings threshold, the legislation allows eligible families to receive child care aid regardless of their specific income level. The change applies immediately to parents and caretakers who meet other standard eligibility criteria for assistance.
