US EditionFive States Seek Court Order to Maintain Child Care Funding Amid HHS Dispute
Judge Vernon Broderick extended a temporary order requiring the Trump administration to continue funding child care subsidies serving 1.3 million children in five Democratic-led states.
- Friday, five Democratic-controlled states asked a New York federal court to order the Trump administration to keep child care subsidies and social service grant programs funding flowing.
- On Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services placed the states on `restricted drawdown`, citing `reason to believe` they granted benefits to people in the country illegally.
- Child care program data show the Child Care and Development Fund subsidizes 1.3 million children, with the five states receiving more than $10 billion annually from these programs.
- A Jan. 9 ruling by a federal judge temporarily blocked the freeze, and U.S. District Judge Vernon Broderick extended the temporary restraining order by two weeks, ordering the federal government to release funds while litigation continues.
- Local providers warn the funding threat would affect around 100,000 families and thousands of providers, with The Mary Crane Center and Marin County voucher programs serving 624 families at risk this month.
