- Missouri shelves childcare payment overhaul as thousands remain on waitlist
Missouri has postponed implementing a childcare payment overhaul, leaving 7,389 children on a waitlist for state-subsidized childcare. The state will not pay providers based on enrollment as previously planned, citing budget constraints, and has not moved any children off the waitlist since March 1. Providers and families face financial burdens due to unchanged payment rules tied to attendance.
