Iowa expands child care aid while staffing shortages persist
Gov. Reynolds signed HF 707 expanding the income limit for state child care assistance to 160 percent of the federal poverty level while raising work requirements. Democrats call funding insufficient amid a 350,000 slot shortfall and a woefully low wage landscape with average pay around 11.61 per hour. Senate Democrats push for higher eligibility to 200 percent FPL and broader access to care.
