About this resource
The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) supports families who are employed, enrolled in educational programs, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) by helping them afford child care costs, which also includes registration fees.
Application Method: Interested individuals can apply through the internet, via phone, or by visiting a nearby ODHS Self Sufficiency Branch Office in person.
Costs: ERDC operates as a subsidy initiative, 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 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 two-parent households, both parents should be employed or in school (this does not apply to TANF recipients). -Exceptions exist for two-parent families if one parent cannot 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 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, with initial limits at 200% FPL and ongoing/exiting limits at 250% FPL. Refer to the website for the income chart.
