Common questions about child care assistance in Ohio
Ohio launched a tri-share pilot called Child Care Cred with $10M in state funding. The program uses a 40-40-20 cost split model in five pilot counties.
Ohio's program uses a 40% employer, 40% state, 20% employee cost split, which is different from the traditional 33-33-33 tri-share model.
The pilot operates in five counties. Contact Ohio JFS for current participating counties and expansion plans.
Families can save $6,000-$8,000 per year as they only pay 20% of child care costs.
Employers can contact the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to learn about participating in the Child Care Cred pilot.
Employers in Ohio 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.
