91 LCM-181 addressed the child care needs of newly employed public assistance recipients who begin work and need child care in the month prior to the month they actually receive any wages. However, this population is only a portion of the newly employed recipient population with child care needs.
The larger population is comprised of those newly employed recipients who do receive wages in the same month they begin work and need child care. Many experience difficulty paying child care costs in a timely manner because their new budget and child care supplement has not yet been calculated. This can be a particular problem for those recipients using regulated child care arrangements.
