About this resource

The Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) provides support for families who are employed, attending school, or receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to help with child care costs, which also includes registration fees.

Application Process: You can apply online, via phone, or in person at a nearby ODHS Self Sufficiency Branch Office.

Costs: ERDC operates as a subsidy program, meaning that many families are still responsible for a portion of child care expenses, known as a copayment (copay). The copayment amount varies based on family size and income.

Who can use this

  • Eligible families must reside in Oregon, be working, in school, or receiving TANF, with specific requirements for two-parent households, and must have children under 18 needing care while meeting income thresholds.

Documents you may need

  • The documents required for verification will vary by family situation
