40-second read · 4 questions answered below
This bill transfers the CCAMPIS program, which gives colleges grants to help low-income student parents pay for child care, from the Department of Education to HHS. HHS would take over the program's staff, money, contracts, and paperwork, gaining the same legal authority the Education Department had. The change takes effect six months after enactment, though early transition steps could start sooner.
The bill directly affects Department of Education and HHS employees who manage the program, plus colleges and universities that receive CCAMPIS grants.
Student parents likely won't see changes to their benefits, but they may interact with a different federal agency for oversight and paperwork going forward. The Office of Management and Budget would oversee the transition to prevent it from creating extra federal jobs.
