Changes to Child Care and Development Fund Regulations
This law changes regulations for the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), reducing requirements on states and territories that administer the program. Previously, there were strict rules about family co-payments, direct service provision through grants or contracts, prospective payments to providers, and payment based on enrollment. Now, these requirements are removed, giving more flexibility to state programs. This affects families receiving child care assistance and the organizations providing it. The changes take effect on July 13, 2026.
Before this change, states and territories had to limit family co-payments to 7 percent of family income, provide some direct services through grants or contracts, pay providers prospectively, and base payments on enrollment.
