Section 50.250  Additional Service to Secure or Maintain Child Care

The Department will provide payments to secure or maintain a child care arrangement for a period not to exceed one month when child care arrangements would otherwise be lost and subsequent employment or activity is scheduled to begin or resume within that period.  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 10 days after the date of loss or break, without exception.  Families are eligible to receive care under this Section three times in any 12-month period.  Payments shall not be approved if the child does not attend care.
