On Monday, March 30, Senators will debate ✅ LB304 (DeBoer) which helps parents afford the child care they need by maintaining the child care subsidy’s income eligibility level, which is otherwise set to decrease this year. If this bill doesn’t pass this year, over 2,000 families will lose access to funding for child care.
The Child Care Subsidy Program is intended to provide temporary assistance to low-income families by helping to cover the costs of childcare on a sliding scale. This program helps parents have a safe place for their children while they find work, maintain employment, or gain the education and skills needed to get a job.
Without this assistance, many Nebraskans are unable to enter the workforce or pursue education and job training. LB304 would simply extend the positive child care subsidy eligibility changes that the Legislature adopted in 2023 and make those changes permanent.
