About this resource
The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) provides support for families who are employed, enrolled in educational programs, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to help with child care expenses, including registration fees.
Application Process: You can apply online, over the phone, or by visiting a local ODHS Self Sufficiency Branch Office.
Fees: As a subsidy program, ERDC requires many families to contribute to child care costs through a copayment (copay), which varies based on 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 must be employed or in school (this does not apply to TANF recipients). -There are exceptions 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 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. -Meet income thresholds, with initial limits set at 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and ongoing limits at 250% FPL.
