Child Care Assistance Eligibility - Employment - Iowa

Families are eligible for child care assistance when the parent or parents are employed 28 or more hours per week or an average of 28 or more hours per week during the month. Assistance may be provided for:

· The hours of employment of a single parent, or

· The hours of employment when both parents in a two-parent home are working during the same hours.

If the applicant is a current or former Transitional Child Care (TCC) recipient who is employed, eligibility criteria must be met, including income and need for service. If the criteria are met, child care assistance should be approved and expedited so there is no interruption in services.

Note: Participants in approved PROMISE JOBS activities and recipients of FIP, or those whose earned income was taken into account in determining the needs of FIP recipients, are eligible for child care assistance regardless of hours of employment, as long as there is a need for child care services.

NOTE: If the applicant is a foster parent who needs child care services to remain employed, see Iowa DHS Employees' Policy Manual, Social Services, Title 18; Chapter D Family Foster Care; Payments; Payments for Other Needs of a Foster Child; Tangible Goods, Child Care, and Ancillary Services.
