Due to COVID-19 (coronavirus), we are making important family policy changes and offering grant funding to providers. This includes:

  • Provider Grants: CCDF is providing temporary grants or assistance to impacted providers so you are able to retain child care staff during periods of closures. In order to apply for a grant, please visit the OECOSL application webpage, download the application form, and send the request to OECOSLproviderinquiry@fssa.IN.gov.
  • Voucher Benefits: Starting on March 20, 2020, all CCDF families will receive full-time voucher benefits. The voucher will be valid until October 3, 2020.
  • Personal Days: All CCDF families are being given an additional 40 personal days. Personal days may also now be used whether a provider is open or closed. This gives families up to 60 personal days to help ensure CCDF eligibility in case of quarantine or a child care center closes temporarily.
