S 3008 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires State provider subsidy payments for child care services to be based on enrollment.

This bill requires New Jersey's Division of Family Development to base state child care subsidy payments on the number of enrolled children, not actual attendance. It applies to licensed child care centers and registered family day care providers serving eligible low-income children. Payments will be calculated using enrollment counts from October 15 and April 15 each year, ensuring more stable funding for providers. The change aims to provide reliable income support amid pandemic-related enrollment fluctuations, shifting from an attendance-based system to an enrollment-based one.
