WORKING CONNECTIONS CHILD CARE (WCCC)
Every working parent wants quality child care for their children. The Working Connections Child Care program helps families pay for care for children under age 13 while adults in the family are working (full- or part-time) or are enrolled in job training and working at least part-time (see note). Your household income determines if you're-eligible for this program and the amount you will pay each month. This program is not part of the TANF 5-year time limit and is not welfare. Parents choose their own child care provider. Working Connections Child Care pays providers in licensed family child care homes and child care centers that accept WCCC subsidies. Even if your provider is unlicensed, a WCCC subsidy may be available to you. Call the Help for Working Families toll-free number 1-877-980-9131 for information that is specific to your family's needs.
Note: Working, non-TANF adults who are enrolled in a vocational training program can receive a Working Connections Child Care subsidy for up to 36 months.
