Part Year
Employees Employees who are paid on a 12-month basis, but only
actually work for ten months of the year, must have a full-time activity
during their “off” months to continue receiving child care assistance during
those off months. This policy also
applies to those who work ten months and are paid on a ten-month basis (such
as school systems, Head Start programs). If the participant elects not to take part in full-time
activities during the off months, the household will not be eligible for
those months off. They may restart
child care assistance later as long as all eligibility factors are
reestablished and funding remains available. Self-employment Self-employed individuals who claim either non-farm or farm
self-employment must be able to demonstrate at least the equivalent of 30 or
more hours of employment per week. To determine how many hours a self-employed individual is working
divide weekly income by the federal minimum wage. AmeriCorps and VISTA Participants in these programs are considered “full-time” by their
program and do not have to meet the full 30-hour work requirement to receive
needed child care assistance. |
