One of the biggest barriers for working parents is the cost of child care, resulting in some parents leaving the workforce. MI Tri-Share, an innovative bipartisan program, was created to change that.
Through MI Tri-Share, the cost of an employee's licensed child care is shared equally among the employer, the employee and the State of Michigan — a three-way split. With MI Tri-Share, parents can go to work knowing that their kids are safe, cared for and have the opportunity to succeed.
Employers can now extend this child care benefit to employees above MI Tri-Share’s income eligibility!
With the MI Care-Share add-on, employers continue to contribute 33%, while the employee covers the remaining 67%.
The MI Care-Share option allows a participating employer to offer a 33% child care cost benefit to any employee, with those employees who meet the MI Tri-Share household income eligibility getting another 33% covered by the state.
