New online tool aids New Yorkers in child care access
New York launches an online pre screening tool to determine eligibility for the Child Care Assistance Program. Developed by OCFS, the tool speeds up applications, indicates basic eligibility, and directs families to local social services offices for funding. Available in 12 languages on the OCFS site, it supports Hochul plan for universal, affordable care. The effort accompanies a $7.6 billion four year investment and a re established Child Care Availability Task Force to plan rollout and assess needs amid pandemic impacts. The task force includes OCFS, Labor, SUNY, CUNY, and local social service bodies, with a final report due by year end.
