Defining Gainful Employment for the Child Care Subsidy

What does it mean to have a spouse or partner that is gainfully employed?


This can include full or part-time employment, including both working at an employer's site or telecommuting in a flexible work situation. It can also include self-employment that brings in a living wage for the family. The Office of Financial Aid may require substantiation from an employer as to an employee's unique work situation or copies of tax returns to verify self-employment income. The final determination of an employment situation will be made by the Office of Financial Aid during the application review.
