Income eligible food stamp recipients who live in a Food Stamp Employment and Training (E&T) county may receive voucher-authorized child care for E&T activities if child care services are necessary for the parent or caretaker to participate in the E&T activities. Participants are eligible for a maximum of $160.00 per month per child.

· Child care services are available whether the parent or caretaker is a required or voluntary participant.

· In two-parent or two-caretaker families, both parents may participate in E&T activities simultaneously and receive voucher-authorized child care unless one parent or caretaker has been exempted to care for a child(ren) under six years of age.

· Child care services are only purchased from licensed and contracted out-of-home child care facilities.

· Food Stamp E&T participants are predetermined eligible for voucher authorized child care and are approved with a zero family share co-payment.

· An overpayment is written for any vouchered child care used by the client for which he or she was not eligible.
