Temporary Child Care Assistance available for Job Seekers
Effective July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, Child Care services will be available to parents who do not meet the minimum work, education or training participation requirements for child care eligibility but who need child care in order to search for work that will meet the minimum employment activity requirements. Parents will be given three months of initial eligibility child care in order to obtain employment of a minimum of 25 hours per week for a single parent family and a combined 50 hours per week for a two parent family. If at the end of the three months of initial eligibility you still do not meet the minimum employment activity requirements as stated above, care will be denied.
If you have questions or are interested in being referred to our Workforce Center staff for job search resources, please call us at 940-723-8774.
TWC announces Child Care Automated Attendance System ending 3/31/21
As of March 31, 2021, the Child Care Automated Attendance System will end.
As of April 1, 2021, parents will no longer need to use an attendance card to report attendance through a POS (Point of Service) device or call in attendance using an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system.
Important Information:
- Parents and caregivers will still follow their child care providers’ sign-in or attendance reporting process.
- CCAA Swipe cards can be disposed of and will no longer be necessary as of April 1, 2021.
- Child Care providers will report a child as absent when the child has 5 days of consecutive absences.
- Each provider report will count toward the child’s 40 absence limit
- Five consecutive day absences = one provider report
- Eight provider reports= 40 absence limit
- Child care terminations will still occur when a child has eight provider reports.
Workforce Solutions Child Care – Client Transfer Policy Effective Immediately
Requirement of PSOC to be paid in full prior to center transfer:
All PSOC prorated amounts are required to be paid in full and the client must have a $0 balance with their current provider before services can be authorized at a new child care center. Child Care staff will call the center to verify that the client has a $0 balance before the transfer will be authorized.
(Exceptions include transfers in which the provider abruptly requests that the client and child(ren) disenroll and find alternate child care arrangements elsewhere)
Requirement of a two-week notice to transfer providers:
Workforce Solutions North Texas Board is imposing a two-week waiting period before a client is allowed to transfer from one child care provider to another. This policy better aligns with common private-pay practices, and allows for the client to have enough advance notice of the prorated PSOC amount and ample time to pay the provider. During the waiting period, the child’s referral at the original provider shall continue unless the parent requests a suspension.
Please visit the TWC website for more information about childcare.
