it is called NCI - it is through Texas Workforce Commision (same place for unemployment)
It is only for kids under school age. They do not pay for daycare for before and after school.
Although I do know a foster dad that is getting it for a preschooler, they stopped NCI on my FK when she started preschool, so I am paying for my 2 kids out of the subsidy. Leave much less for necessities....about half is used on daycare. If I ddint have siblings it owuld be nearly the full subsidy. (sibs get a higher subsidy)
When you get a placement simply ask your FAD worker to apply for NCI for you. Also - ask the caseworker of your child for their emergency clothing voucher at the time of placement, and be sure to ask for more every 3 months. You dont always get them but you might.
