4 Authorization of Care

Once a child is determined eligible for child care subsidy, care will be authorized based on the type and quantity of care needed. The hours of authorized traditional care do not need to match the work, education, or training schedule of the family. Families may attest to the need for traditional services, which may include travel time, studying time, and other relevant factors, without supporting documentation. Families in need of non-traditional or extended services are required to provide evidence or documentation to confirm the need for care during non-traditional hours.
