Weekly child care hours: • Overlapping work and school hours: 6 • Sleep hours for Carly (3 shifts × 5 hrs): 15 • Study hours for Bradly: 10 Total weekly hours: 31 Add 25% for travel/meal time: • 31 + 25% = 38.75 hours/week Total authorized hours in ONE = 215 (monthly) This family qualifies for a full-time authorization because their weekly overlapping work, student, and sleep hours fall between 21–40 hours per week.

Example 3: One-caretaker, commute hours Jessie rides the bus to work five days a week and must transfer buses several times. It takes her three hours a day to travel from the provider’s house to work and back. Jessie works eight hours a day and is required to take a one-hour lunch break, so she needs 12 hours of care per day (8 work hours + 1 lunch + 3 commute). The worker will: • Enter Jessie’s work schedule in ONE. • Add a record for commute hours. Monthly child care hours: • 8 work hours/day • 3 commute hours/day Total: 12 × 5 days/week × 4.3 weeks = 258 Total authorized hours in ONE = 258 (monthly)
