Trump administration weighs paying married parents to stay home with children

World

  • The Trump administration is considering federal child-care subsidies for some married couples with a stay-at-home parent.
  • Under the draft plan, one spouse would need to work at least 35 hours weekly to qualify.
  • The subsidy could provide about $9,000 per child annually, though amounts may vary by family.
  • Critics fear using existing child-care funds could reduce support for single and working parents.
