About this resource
The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) provides support to families who are employed, enrolled in educational programs, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to help cover child care costs, including registration fees.
Application Process: You can apply online, via phone, or in person at a nearby ODHS Self Sufficiency Branch Office.
Costs: ERDC operates as a subsidy program, meaning that many families are still responsible for a portion of the child care expenses, known as a copayment (copay). The copay amount is determined by the family's size and income level.
Who can use this
- Eligible families must: -Reside in Oregon -Be employed, attending school, or receiving TANF. -In a two-parent household, both parents should be working or studying (this does not apply to TANF recipients). -Exceptions exist for two-parent families where one parent is unable to provide child care due to medical or mental health issues, or if state supervision is mandated. -Require child care to maintain employment, education, or engage in family well-being activities. Have a child who is: -Under 13 years old and requires care, or -Aged 13 to 17 and needs care due to special circumstances. -Adhere to income limits, with initial limits set at 200% of FPL and ongoing/exit limits at 250% of FPL. Refer to the website for the income chart.
