Do You Know a Family Who Needs Assistance Paying for Child Care? If you do please encourage them to apply for Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) today. There is no waiting list at this time, so if they qualify they will receive help. We know this helps low income working families to continue working.

You can find more information about applying at https://apps.state.or.us/Forms/Served/de7470.pdf.

There is a calculator parents can use to get an estimate of how much they would pay http://www.oregon.gov/dhs/children/pages/childcare/qualify.aspx

Please help spread the word to parents and other providers
