MI Tri-Share Child Care ## Affordable Child Care for Michigan Families 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. ## Once you Tri it, you'll love it!

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. * Family smiling at camera ### Find Participating Employers [](https://mitrishare.

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.
