Web Sites Final regulations are posted in the Federal Register . These regulations are being posted since Congress has made the law that provides for child care subsidies permanent. Federal families utilize a number of different child care options that include both alternative work arrangements and non-parental child care. Federal personnel policies include leave policies and flexible work schedules to help employees with their child care responsibilities. Employees might choose one option at one point in their career, and another option at a different point. The policies are designed to give Federal employees the flexibilities they need to manage personal and professional responsibilities. To help make child care more affordable for lower income Federal employees, Public Law 107-67 was enacted on November 12, 2001. The law permits agencies in the executive branch of government to assist lower income employees with their child care costs. For more information about implementation of this law, go to: Guide for Implementing Child Care Legislation That Law permits agencies to spend appropriated funds, including revolving funds otherwise available for salaries, to assist lower income employees with the costs of child care. Check with your individual agency to see if they are offering a child care subsidy program. If you meet the Department's eligibility criteria, your child care costs might be REDUCED!
