Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Administrative Data Series

This administrative dataset provides descriptive information about the families and children served through the federal Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). CCDF dollars are provided to states, territories, and tribes to provide assistance to low-income families receiving or in transition from temporary public assistance, to obtain quality child care so they can work, or depending on their state's policy, to attend training or receive education. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 requires states and territories to collect information on all family units receiving assistance through the CCDF and to submit monthly case-level data to the Office of Child Care. States are permitted to report case-level data for the entire population, or a sample of the population, under approved sampling guidelines.

The Summary Records file contains monthly state-level summary information including the number of families served. The Family Records file contains family-level data including single parent status of the head of household, monthly co-payment amount, date on which child care assistance began, reasons for care (e.g., employment, training/education, protective services, etc.), income used to determine eligibility, source of income, and the family size on which eligibility is based. The Child Records file contains child-level data including ethnicity, race, gender, and date of birth. The Setting Records file contains information about the type of child care setting, the total amount paid to the provider, and the total number of hours of care received by the child. The Pooling Factor file provides state-level data on the percentage of child care funds that is provided through the CCDF, the federal Head Start region the grantee (state) is in and is monitored by, and the state FIPS code for the grantee.

本行政数据集提供了关于通过联邦儿童保育与发展基金（CCDF）服务的家庭和儿童描述性信息。CCDF资金发放给各州、领地和部落，以向接受或正在从临时公共援助过渡的低收入家庭提供援助，帮助他们获得优质的儿童保育服务，以便他们能够工作，或在州政策允许的情况下，参加培训或接受教育。1996年的《个人责任和工作机会法案》要求各州和领地收集通过CCDF获得援助的所有家庭单位的信息，并向儿童保育办公室提交每月的案件层级数据。各州可以在经批准的抽样指南下，报告整个群体或群体样本的案件层级数据。

汇总记录文件包含每月的州级汇总信息，包括服务家庭数量。家庭记录文件包含家庭层级数据，包括户主单身状态、每月共同支付金额、儿童保育援助开始日期、照顾原因（例如，就业、培训/教育、保护服务等）、用于确定资格的收入、收入来源以及基于家庭规模的资格。儿童记录文件包含儿童层级数据，包括民族、种族、性别和出生日期。设置记录文件包含关于儿童保育设置类型的、支付给提供者的总金额以及儿童接受的总护理小时数。汇集因子文件提供了州级数据，包括通过CCDF提供的儿童保育资金的百分比、受助人（州）所在的联邦开端计划区域及其监管机构，以及受助州的州FIPS代码。
