Expand childcare eligibility for immigrant families!
Childcare is a vital service for Washington’s working families. Despite this, Working Connections Childcare (WCCC), a program that helps low-income families pay for childcare, can currently consider immigration states to determine eligibility.
SB 5225 prohibits the state from considering the immigration status in determining eligibility for all WCCC applicants, allowing for parents of undocumented children to participate in this critical childcare subsidy program. It has passed the Senate and is now moving to the House!
