As you know, all child care recipients are required to meet a need factor for child care. In the past, we approved for the employment need factor based on the hours the client was working. Now, there will be a minimum employment hours requirement.
Work:
The client must be working 20 hours/week in order to qualify for child care subsidy.
Or
The client must be working an average of 80 hours/month in order to qualify for child care subsidy.
Example 1:
The client works the following schedule:
M – F, 1p – 5p = 20 hours week
Eligible
Example 2:
Client turns in employer statement with the following information:
Hourly rate = $10/hour
Hours per week = 15-20
17.5 average hours/week
Not Eligible
Example 3:
The client turns in weekly pay stubs with the following hours:
Week 1 = 15 hours
Week 2 = 23 hours
Week 3 = 34 hours
Week 4 = 15 hours
Total = 87 hours
Divide by 4 weeks = 21.75 hours/week
21.75 hours/week x 4.3 weeks/month = 93.53 hours/month
Eligible
Example 4:
Client turns in bi-weekly pay stubs with the following hours
Pay Stub #1 = 30 hours
Pay Stub #2 = 40 hours
Total = 70 hours
70 hours/2 pay stubs = 35 hours/pay stub
35 hours/pay stub x 2.15 weeks/mo. = 75.25 hours/month
Not Eligible
