Summary

Implement Oregon's Child Care and Development Fund subsidy, officially named the Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) program, in PolicyEngine US.

Regulatory authority

• OAR Chapter 414, Division 175
• Oregon DELC ERDC program page
• Oregon DELC ERDC maximum rates

Proposed work

• Model simulatable financial, demographic, and activity eligibility rules.
• Model initial and ongoing income standards, the resource limit, countable income, and family copays.
• Model the subsidy as allowable child care costs less the family copay, subject to the selected provider-rate scope.
• Add focused unit and integration tests, program registry metadata, and a changelog fragment.
• Document administrative or data-dependent rules that cannot be simulated, including waitlist selection and verification requirements.

The provider-rate and other complex implementation boundaries will be confirmed after the official-rule research checkpoint.
