About this resource
The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) offers support to families who are employed, enrolled in school, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to help cover child care expenses, including registration fees.
Application Process: Interested individuals can apply through the internet, via phone, or by visiting a nearby ODHS Self Sufficiency Branch Office.
Costs: ERDC functions 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 level.
Who can use this
- To qualify for this program, families must: -Reside in Oregon -Be employed, attending school, or receiving TANF. -In two-parent households, both parents should be working or studying (this does not apply to TANF recipients). -Exceptions exist for two-parent families where one parent is unable to provide child care due to medical or mental health issues, or if the State mandates supervised contact. -Require child care to maintain employment, education, or engage in family well-being activities. Children must be: -Under 13 years old needing care, or -Aged 13 to 17 with special circumstances requiring care. -Meet specified income thresholds, with initial limits set at 200% FPL and ongoing/exit limits at 250% FPL.
