Employment Related Day Care – ERDC

We want to be sure families have had ample opportunity to apply for ERDC before the program opens a waitlist.

1. Families currently receiving ERDC will continue to receive benefits as usual.

2. Families earning up to 200% of the federal poverty level (e.g., up to $5,000 per month for a family of four) may be eligible for ERDC and are encouraged to apply right away.

3. Families can text the word “children” to 898211 or call 211 if they need help finding their local office or figuring out how to apply to ERDC.

4. The waitlist is likely to be in place for at least 18 months, depending on the level of investment and the rate at which families leave the program.
