Child Care Assistance Eligibility - Seeking Employment - Iowa

Families are eligible for child care assistance when the parent or parents are looking for employment. Child care for job search is limited to only those hours the parent is actually looking for employment and travel time.

To be approved for Child Care Assistance, a job search plan is limited to a maximum of 30 working days in a 12-month period. PROMISE JOBS participants must request additional hours if needed. Those additional hours must be approved by the PROMISE JOBS worker.

Child care in two-parent families can be approved only during the hours both parents are looking for employment at the same time or during one parent’s employment and one parent’s looking for employment. The case worker will require documentation of job search contacts.
