阿肯色州已成立一个紧急工作组,处理联邦资金短缺和州报销削减引发的儿童保育危机。 Arkansas has formed an emergency working group to address a child care crisis triggered by federal funding shortfalls and state reimbursement cuts. 仅剩下5周的资金,提供商面临关闭、裁员和财政压力,因为国家实施了新的家庭共同支付和推迟计划削减18%的费率。 With only five weeks of funding left, providers face closures, layoffs, and financial strain after the state implemented new family copayments and delayed planned 18% rate cuts. 包括立法者、提供者和研究人员在内的该小组将在11月1日前就临时解决办法提出咨询意见,因为官员们正在应付725万美元的CCDF余额,并在大流行病期间供资减少后减少了联邦支助。 The group, including lawmakers, providers, and researchers, will advise on temporary solutions by November 1, as officials grapple with a $7.25 million CCDF balance and reduced federal support following pandemic-era funding declines.
