Child Care
MI Tri-Share
Are you an employer looking to attract and retain employees?
The MI Tri-Share Child Care Program (MI Tri-Share) is a workforce development initiative that allows Michigan employers to offer a highly desirable benefit to help improve employee recruitment and retention. MI Tri-Share removes one significant barrier to employment by making child care affordable for Michigan’s working parents.
Through MI Tri-Share, the cost of an employee’s child care is shared equally among the employer, the employee, and the State of Michigan – a three-way split – with coordination provided by the MI Tri-Share statewide administrative partner.
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%.
Funding from the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) supports the MI Tri-Share Child Care Program.
