Child Care Assistance Plan 2023-2024

Counties and tribes must submit a biennial Child Care Fund Plan to the commissioner. Child Care Assistance Program rules and laws allow counties and tribes to establish some local policies and procedures. These local policies and procedures, when included in this plan and approved by the commissioner, are considered county/tribal policy and are used to support agency decisions during appeals. The Department of Human Services (OHS) will review and approve County and Tribal Child Care Fund Plans. Counties and tribes will receive approval letters for their Child Care Fund Plans from the
commissioner of OHS. This plan period begins on January 1, 2024.
