The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) provides financial assistance for child care to families who are employed, enrolled in educational programs, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), which includes help with registration fees.

Application Process: Interested individuals can apply through the internet, via telephone, or by visiting a local ODHS Self Sufficiency Branch Office.

Costs: As a subsidy initiative, ERDC requires many families to contribute a portion of the child care expenses, known as a copayment (copay), which varies based on family size and income levels.
