A Biden-era rule sought to stabilize child care. Why Trump wants it gone
The Trump administration has proposed repealing a Biden-era rule that aimed to stabilize child care by altering how states pay out subsidies. This Biden-era regulation mandated states pay child care providers based on enrollment rather than attendance, ensuring more consistent income for centers. The Trump administration cites concerns about potential fraud as the reason for its proposed repeal. This move could significantly impact the financial stability of child care providers and the accessibility of subsidies for families nationwide. The ultimate decision will influence the future of child care funding mechanisms across the country.
