CONCORD MONITOR – The state plans to reduce child-care aid for 4,760 families in a move officials say will eliminate a $9.5 million shortfall projected for the subsidy program this year.
Families will be charged a greater portion of their child-care bills starting March 1, and families with multiple children in care will pay for each child. The plan modifies a redesign of the state’s child-care subsidy program, unveiled in July, that advocates described as reflecting a family’s ability to pay.
