What is Child Care Works Assistance?
The subsidized child care program helps low-income families pay a portion of their child care expenses. The state and federal government funds this program, which is managed by the ELRC. The ELRC determines the families’ eligibility for child care subsidy, provides payments to the child care providers, and educates families about quality childcare and early learning programs.
What Providers Can Participate?
To participate in the Child Care Works subsidy program, you must:
- Be a licensed certified child care provider
- Sign a certified provider agreement with ELRC7
- Provide the ELRC7 with a current W-9
- Agree to accept subsidy payment rates

Important Information
When a family chooses you as a child care provider, you will be notified by the ELRC7 and will submit monthly attendance invoices to request payment.
Payments are paid monthly by the 20th of each month.
Providers may submit invoices online through PROVIDER SELF SERVICE or with paper attendance sheets that can be mailed to the ELRC.
Please see our office with any questions or if you would like to know more.
