The commissioner shall apply to the federal
government for a waiver of the provisions
of the aid to dependent children program
or other applicable federal program which
would request federal financial participa-
tion in a day care demonstration program.
The program would be designed to allow for
subsidized day care for a period not to
exceed nine months from termination for
individuals who, due
earned income,
become ineligible for assistance under the
aid to dependent children program. Copies
of the waiver shall be filed with the
chairpersons of the Senate Finance and As-
sembly Ways and Means Committees. Funds
from this appropriation shall be used
prior
receipt of federal approval to
support such a demonstration program for
recipients of aid to dependent children
and home relief who have become ineligible
for such assistance due to earned income.
