About this resource
The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) supports families who are employed, pursuing education, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) in covering 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. For further details and to access the income chart, please visit the website.
Fees: 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 family 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 need to be working or studying (this does not apply to TANF recipients) -There are exceptions for two-parent families where one parent is unable to provide care due to medical or mental health issues, or if supervised contact is mandated by the State -Require child care to maintain employment, education, or participate in family well-being activities -Have a child who is: -13 years old or younger needing care, or -Ages 13-17 needing care due to special circumstances -Meet income thresholds, with initial limits set at 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL) and ongoing/exit limits at 250% FPL.
