 <title>Child Care: Additional Information Is Needed on Working Families Receiving Subsidies</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Since the Congress enacted welfare reform legislation in 1996,
child care assistance has served as a key support for work	 
efforts among low-income families. Researchers have found that	 
reliable, high-quality child care is critical to sustaining	 
parents&apos; ability to work, while safeguarding their children&apos;s	 
health and intellectual development. States have flexibility in  
determining which low-income families are provided child care	 
subsidies funded by the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF),  
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and related state
resources. States must balance the funds available for subsidies 
with the number of families who want subsidized child care. In	 
doing so, states may find it necessary to change child care	 
policies that affect program access or the amount of subsidy that
eligible families receive. As Congress considers reauthorizing	 
CCDF and TANF, we updated our previous report &quot;Child Care: Recent
State Policy Changes Affecting the Availability of Assistance for
Low-Income Families&quot; by providing current information on (1) the 
choices states have made for providing child care assistance to  
(a) TANF families, (b) families transitioning off TANF, and (c)  
other lowincome families; (2) the extent to which states have	 
changed policies since 2001 that could affect access to child	 
care assistance programs and the amounts of subsidies provided to
families; and (3) the number of children and families receiving  
child care assistance from CCDF and TANF funds.</abstract>
