Rise Up for Child Care Act of 2026
The Rise Up for Child Care Act of 2026 expands federal child care funding to guarantee services for current and former recipients of public assistance programs, removing previous restrictions on how states must use these funds. It eliminates state-imposed spending caps and changes the funding structure to an open-ended entitlement, allowing states to request unlimited sums to support child care needs. Additionally, the bill creates a separate matching rate of 75 percent for states that invest in wages and benefits for home-based child care providers and funds a study to evaluate the impact of these changes.
