About this resource
The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) supports families who are employed, enrolled in school, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) by helping them afford child care expenses, which also includes registration fees.
Application Process: You can apply through the online portal, via phone, or by visiting a local ODHS Self Sufficiency Branch Office.
Transportation/Location: The service is accessible via LTD Route #11.
Cost: ERDC operates 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 by the family's size and income.
Who can use this
- To qualify for this program, families must: -Reside in Oregon -Be working, attending school, or receiving TANF. -In two-parent households, both parents should be working or studying (this does not apply to those on TANF). -Some exceptions exist for two-parent families if one parent is unable to provide care due to medical or mental health issues, or if state-required supervised contact is necessary. -Require child care to facilitate work, education, or family well-being activities. Have a child who is: -Under 13 years old needing care, or -Aged 13 to 17 needing care due to special circumstances. -Adhere to income limits: Initial limits are set at 200% FPL, while ongoing and exit limits are at 250% FPL.
