Summary
The Working Connections Child Care program now covers more low‑ and moderate‑income families, raises the subsidy rates to match higher market percentiles, and requires the Department of Children, Youth, and Families to adopt rules for how providers claim daily payments. It affects families with children under 13 (or under 19 with special needs) and licensed or certified child‑care providers. The changes aim to improve access to affordable, high‑quality child care and ensure providers are fairly compensated.
