Trump administration proposes making stay-at-home parents eligible for childcare subsidies
The Trump administration proposed redirecting already-allocated Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) money to make stay-at-home parents in qualifying single-income married households eligible for childcare payments. The proposal requires a comment period and cannot take effect until at least 2027. Conservative commentators split on whether the reform is a pro-family improvement of the welfare state or an expansion of welfare that pays people not to work.
