About this resource
The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) provides support for families who are working, studying, 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.
Transportation: Accessible via LTD Routes #30, 32, 41, 43, 76, 93, EMX (Bay U).
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.
Who can use this
- Eligible families must: -Reside in Oregon -Be working, attending school, or receiving TANF. -In two-parent households, both parents must be employed or in school (this does not apply to TANF recipients). -Exceptions exist for two-parent families where one parent cannot provide care due to medical or mental health issues, or if state-required 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 or exit limits at 250% FPL.
