Apply before the end of the month in which you need child care: for care starting September 1, apply by September 30.
Give a qualifying reason for care: work, school, an employment program, looking for work (one parent only), a medical condition, a licensed preschool, or a social worker's recommendation. Maternity or parental leave is NOT a qualifying reason.
Renew every year, or as soon as the qualifying reason changes.
