About this resource
The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) provides support for families who are employed, enrolled in school, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to help cover child care costs, including registration fees.
Application Process: Interested individuals can apply through the internet, via telephone, or by visiting a local ODHS Self Sufficiency Branch Office in person.
Costs: ERDC functions as a subsidy program, meaning that many families are still responsible for a portion of the child care expenses, referred to as a copayment (copay). The copay amount is determined based on the family’s size and income.
Who can use this
- To qualify for this program, families must: -Reside in Oregon -Be employed, attending school, or receiving TANF. -In two-parent families, both parents should be working or studying (this does not apply to TANF recipients). -Exceptions exist for two-parent households if one parent is unable to provide care due to medical or mental health issues, or if state-mandated supervised contact is necessary. -Require child care to maintain employment, education, or engage in family well-being activities. Have a child who is: -Under 13 years old needing care, or -Aged 13 to 17 requiring care due to specific circumstances. -Meet income thresholds: Initial income limits are set at 200% FPL, while ongoing and exit limits are 250% FPL. Refer to the website for the income chart.
