HB 987 -- Child Care Subsidies

Sponsor:  Schaaf

This bill requires the Family Support Division within the
Department of Social Services to implement a step reduction
method to more efficiently transition recipients off of child day
care services benefits.  Beginning January 1, 2010, the maximum
benefit allocation must be based on the actual dollar amount of
the maximum child care services benefit allowed on July 1, 2009,
and then gradually reduced to zero using step reductions as
established by the division.  The step reductions of benefits
will be based on incomes of from zero to 85% of the median income
in the state.  The provisions of the bill will not apply if the
method results in a loss of federal child day care services grant
moneys.
