The Administration proposes a continued freeze for child care funding as they predict that child care services will continue to decline. For FY 2009 the Administration proposes level funding at $2.06 million in annually appropriated funding. For seven years in a row, the Administration has offered a freeze in discretionary child care funds. The Administration projections show a loss of 200,000 child care slots in 2009 if there requested is approved. The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) is made up of both discretionary and mandatory child care dollars. The mandatory or guaranteed funding is now $2.9 billion. Funding was increased by $200 million as a result of the reauthorization of TANF included in the 2005 Deficit Reduction Reconciliation Act. This increase is currently available to states as federal matching funds. Approximately $1.8 billion flows to the states by a set formula, if a state adds state dollars as a match. The remaining funds are provided to states without a required match. As a result of the TANF reauthorization, child care mandatory funds will not increase through FY 2010, which makes the FY 2006 increase the last one that will occur for the remainder of this decade.
