Child Care Benefits

Child Care Benefits help pay for caregivers and programs for children of all ages: newborns, preschoolers, school-age, teenagers, and older disabled children.

Eligible Children: Children that are eligible for these benefits include your natural children and those of your spouse or domestic partner. Adopted children, stepchildren, foster children, or other children who depend upon you for support and whom you claim as dependents on your federal income tax also qualify for these benefits.

Ineligible Providers: No reimbursement will be paid under any of these benefits for care provided by the child's parent, participant or their spouse or domestic partner.

TYPES OF CHILD CARE BENEFITS

Newborn Benefit: This benefit is for the parents of newborns and is an additional benefit a participant can receive in addition to another benefit. No applications will be accepted prior to the birth or legal adoption of the child. In the case of twin newborns, participants can apply for two newborn benefits at once.
