Maybe a question on child care.............
Today, Vice President Kamala Harris
announced critical steps to lower the cost of child care for more than 100,000 working families across America.
The Biden-Harris Administration's new rule will cap the cost of child care at no more than seven percent of income for families enrolled in the Child Care and Development Block Grant program (CCDGB), saving families more than $200 per month on average.
The new rule, filed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), also allows states to waive payments entirely for some families and helps pay child care providers faster and more fairly, which will help raise wages for child care workers.
"President Biden and I believe that every family in our nation should be able to access affordable child care,"
said Vice President Harris.
"Today, we are taking another important step forward by lowering the cost of child care for more than 100,000 working families that receive federal child care assistance.
President Biden and I will continue fighting to cap child care costs at $10 a day for millions of American families and make preschool free for all four-year-olds as we once again call on Congress to get it done."
