Description of Program and Relief
Child Care Subsidy Program
Virginia’s Child Care Subsidy Program is a pre-existing program that assists families in paying child care costs for children under age 13 who are not eligible to attend public school during the part of the day when public education is available, or children with special needs under age 18 who reside with the applicant. Eligibility criteria have not changed, but due to the impact of COVID-19, school-aged children currently designated for part-day care will be eligible for full-day care. Additionally, certification periods ending between March 2020 and May 2020 will have services automatically extended for six months. For level 1 and level 2 providers, the number of paid absences will increase from 36 to 76 days.
