Expand child care support for military families
Jacobs secured provisions to extend the “Child Care in Your Home” pilot, which provides financial assistance to eligible military families for in-home care. The program especially serves families with nontraditional work hours, large families, or children with special needs. Another provision encourages a pilot to raise the fee-assistance provider cap by 30% for children 24 months or younger near installations with high child care costs.
Context: The provider-cap increase is encouraged through a pilot; it is not described as a mandatory increase.
