TANF families lose required child care priority

Oregon no longer requires child care subsidy priority for families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The Early Learning Council can still give these families priority in the Employment Related Day Care program. The change does not bar TANF families from getting subsidies or change their subsidy amounts.
