TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the social services law, in relation to requiring social
services districts to maintain a waiting list of certain families apply-
ing for child care assistance

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this bill is to create mandatory waiting lists for subsi-
dized child day care and establish reporting of income levels for fami-
lies applying for childcare subsidies.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

This bill amends the social services law to require all local districts
to keep waiting lists of eligible applicants for child day care subsi-
dies and outlines specific reporting requirements to the governor and
legislature. The bill also requires all local districts to keep data on
the income levels of families applying for childcare subsidies, includ-

ing those that were denied and those that were accepted. The bill also
establishes annual reports to the governor and legislature.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Many low-income families rely on subsidized childcare in order to main-
tain employment and ensure financial security. The legislature and the
Governor work very hard every year to allocate adequate funding for
childcare assistance in each year's budget. In order to advance this
goal, an accurate estimate of the outstanding need in local districts
for subsidized childcare is needed. By establishing mandatory waiting
lists, the number of families, the length of time the family must wait
for childcare assistance, and the income level of families receiving
childcare assistance can be determined. This enables lawmakers to make
informed decisions regarding who subsidies are reaching and whether
current income eligibility requirements are appropriate.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary
for the implementation of this act on its effective date are authorized
to be made and completed on or before such effective date.
