Policy Matter Ohio reports Ohio is one the worst states in the nation in qualifying for childcare assistance
Ohio lawmakers are currently working on a new two-year state budget, which must be approved by June 30 at midnight, with state childcare support being one of the biggest issues up for debate.
“It’s very difficult. You can’t make too much, otherwise, you're beyond that line to even afford to have my child in daycare, but you have to make ends meet at the same time,” Dean said. “The make-or-break factor was paying for childcare; it just wasn’t doable for us and so I had to stay home and live off my savings for a while.”
Will Petrik, Project Director with Policy Matters Ohio, told News state data indicates Ohio has one of the worst qualifying wage levels for childcare assistance in the nation, pointing to his agencieslatest childcare report. “Alaska has eligibility of over 300% of the federal poverty level, South Carolina is at 297%, somebody at the median income making a little over $60,000 for a family of three could actually get a little bit of support,” Petrik said. “We ought to be at 300% of the federal poverty level. That means that a family of three could make a little over $69,000 annually and still qualify for some daycare support.
