Section 50.250  Additional Service to Secure or Maintain Child Care

The Department will provide payments to secure or maintain a child care arrangement when child care arrangements would otherwise be lost and subsequent employment or activity is scheduled to begin or resume.  To qualify, the parent must be approved for child care assistance and must report a loss of employment or break in the approved activity within 30 days after the date of loss or break.  Families are eligible to receive care under this Section for up to three 30-day periods in any 12-month period.  Payments shall not be approved if the child does not attend care.
