Common questions about child care assistance in North Dakota
North Dakota launched a tri-share pilot in 2024 with $1.5M 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. The program targets working families who need child care assistance.
The pilot program operates in select regions of North Dakota. Contact DHS for current coverage areas.
Families can save $5,000-$7,000 per year depending on child care costs.
Employers can contact the Department of Human Services to learn about participating in the tri-share pilot.
Employers in North Dakota 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.
