H.R. 5720: Federal Worker Childcare Protection Act of 2025

This bill, known as the Federal Worker Childcare Protection Act of 2025, is designed to provide financial support to federal employees who face child care costs during a specific period when they are either furloughed or working without a salary due to a lapse in government funding beginning around October 1, 2025.

Childcare Reimbursement Details

The bill allows for reimbursement of childcare expenses incurred by federal employees under the following conditions:

  • The employee must be furloughed or working without pay during the lapse in appropriations.
  • The employee must be actively paying for childcare during this period.
  • Reimbursement is contingent upon available government appropriations.

The intention of the bill is to alleviate some of the financial stress on federal employees who may struggle to cover childcare costs while unable to earn a paycheck due to government funding issues. By offering a reimbursement option, the bill aims to support employees in maintaining their children's care and well-being during potentially unstable financial times resulting from federal government operations being impacted by a lapse in appropriations.
