CA Childcare While Employed

The Child and Community Services Division (CCSD) provides childcare assistance for CA participants to participate with the Jobs Program, to accept or maintain employment.

Jobs staff refers the participant to the local CCSD office through an interface between the Jobs Automated System (JAS) and the CCSD automated system. Jobs also gives the participant the phone number for the local CCSD office and advises the participant to call and arrange for childcare.

CCSD may pay part or all of the cost of childcare depending on the age of the child and the type of provider the participant chooses. The participant is responsible for charges that are more than the CCSD payment. When choosing a provider, the participant needs to ask the provider about any costs in addition to what CCSD pays. Jobs may be able to help the participant pay certain additional costs.
