A01303 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A1303
 
SPONSOR: Clark
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to prohibiting requiring parents or caretakers to earn a minimum wage or work a minimum number of hours to be eligible for child care assistance   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one amends subdivision 3 of section 410-w to allow social service districts to disallow rules or regulations by the Office of Children and Family Services to have a minimum earnings requirement or minimum hours worked requirement to receive child care assistance. Section two states this act shall take effect immediately.   JUSTIFICATION: In New York Regulations- Title 18. Department of Socials Services, Part 415 Child Care Service-, exists rules limiting those who can receive assistance based on whether they are earning the minimum wage or working a minimum number of hours per week. Hundreds of thousands of workers in the gig economy or misclassified and earning less than the minimum wage could be disqualified by this regulation for childcare subsidies. Mini- mum hours worked requirements leave out New York's most needy workers from childcare subsidies This legislation remedies that situation by eliminating minimum work hours and minimum wage requirements to receive childcare assistance in the form of subsidies.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
