About this resource
The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) offers support to families engaged in work, education, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) by helping cover child care expenses, including registration fees.
Application Process: Families can apply through online platforms, via phone, or by visiting 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
- To qualify for this program, families must: -Reside in Oregon -Be working, in school, or receiving TANF. -In two-parent families, both parents must be employed or enrolled in school (this does not apply to TANF recipients). -There are exceptions for two-parent households where 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 engage in family well-being activities. Have a child who is: -Under 13 years old needing care, or -Ages 13 to 17 requiring care due to special circumstances. -Adhere to income limits, with initial limits at 200% FPL and ongoing/exit limits at 250% FPL.
