What it does
The CARE for Parenting Students Act would clarify eligibility for child care assistance under the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to include parenting students enrolled in certain educational programs, such as those accredited by higher education institutions, registered with labor departments, or approved for nursing assistant certification. It affects parenting students pursuing education or training who seek federal child care support. The bill also authorizes an additional $850 million in annual appropriations for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to support these expanded eligibility provisions.
