Common questions about child care assistance in New York
New York launched a tri-share pilot in 2024 with $5M in funding. The program splits child care costs equally among employers, employees, and the state.
Families must be employed by a participating employer and meet income guidelines that vary by region. The program targets the 'missing middle' who earn too much for subsidies.
The pilot program operates in select regions of New York. Contact OCFS for current coverage areas and participating employers.
Families can save $8,000-$10,000 per year depending on child care costs in their region.
Employers can contact the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) to learn about participating in the tri-share pilot.
Employers in New York can implement a Duo-Share program immediatelyโa two-way cost split between employer and employee that can be launched in 60-90 days without waiting for government funding.
