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 (school systems, and Head Start
programs, for example). If the participant elects not to take part in full-time activities
during the off months, they may restart child care assistance later as long as
all eligibility factors are re-established 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. |
