What’s in it

This bill relates to the income eligibility requirements for the receipt of child care assistance. Under current law, Code section 237A.13 authorizes the department of human services to establish income eligibility requirements for recipients of state child care assistance. The bill directs the department of human services to amend its administrative rules establishing income requirements for children needing basic care to provide income eligibility according to family size at 200 percent of the federal poverty level. The bill correspondingly amends the poverty level from 145 percent to 200 percent in Code section 237A.13(7)(c) regarding the establishment and prioritization of a waiting list for child care assistance.
