As you know, all clients must meet a need factor to qualify for child care subsidy. Formal education programs, whether bachelor’s degree or associate degree programs, may qualify as an approved need factor for child care. We never approve child care for post-graduate education (master’s degree level courses.)
Also, we never approve child care for online, self-paced courses.
The degree program must require classroom attendance on the school campus with an instructor present. Child care is only approved for an online Internet-based course or a televised course when it is a live broadcast conducted by an instructor and attendance is required while the program is being broadcast.
In addition, Child Care now has a minimum credit hour requirement to qualify for care for formal education.
The client must be enrolled in at least 6 qualifying credit hours to meet the need factor for child care subsidy.
**Please remember that the formal education program must qualify to receive federal financial aid from United States Department of Education (USDE) or other federal or state education funds.
