In Massachusetts, DTA (Department of Transitional Assistance) vouchers help low-income families pay for childcare. Here's a simple breakdown of who is eligible:
Income: Your family's income must be below a certain level, based on your family size.
DTA Programs: You must be receiving certain benefits from DTA, like TAFDC (Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children) or be part of a program aimed at helping families become self-sufficient (like job training or education).
Work/Study Requirements: Usually, parents need to be working, in school, or enrolled in a job training program.
Children: The voucher covers children up to age 13 (or up to 16 for children with special needs).In short, if you're a low-income family receiving certain benefits and need childcare to work or study, you might be eligible for a DTA voucher.
