About this resource
The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) provides support to families who are working, attending school, 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 local 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.
Who can use this

Have a child who is: -Younger than 13 years old and requires care, or -Ages 13 to 17 and needs care due to special circumstances. -Must meet income thresholds. -Initial income limits are set at 200% FPL, with ongoing and exit limits at 250% FPL.
