Child Care for JTSR Students

Students who are eligible for Job Training Student Resources (JTSR) services may apply for assistance with the cost of child care while they are in classes at HCC.

Child Care Reimbursement Policies:
  1. Each semester there is an established date when the JTSR office will accept new applications for child care assistance. Applications will not be accepted prior to that date.
  2. The application for child care reimbursement must be filled out completely and signed by the student and the child care provider.
  3. Students may not apply until after they have registered for the semester in which they are applying for assistance.
  4. Students must re-apply each semester and must receive notification of approval from the JTSR office before submitting weekly vouchers.
  5. Weekly vouchers are accepted no later than Friday by 4:30pm of the current week. No backdated vouchers will be accepted. If the college is closed on a Friday, the JTSR office will accept weekly vouchers until noon on Monday of the following week.
  6. JTSR students must notify the JTSR office immediately if anything changes after the submission of their application (such as child care provider rates, change in school schedule, etc.).
  7. Students may NOT submit vouchers for days the college is closed (snow day, holiday, etc.) even if the student’s class had assigned work, clinicals, etc. on that day.
  8. The child in child care may not be any older than 10 years of age. JTSR does not provide child care reimbursement for children in child care who are 11 years of age or older.
