dependent care
Subsidized family support
Dependent care refers to assistance provided for people who cannot fully care for themselves—typically young children or elderly or disabled family members.
The term appears most often in tax and employment contexts: a dependent care tax credit offsets childcare costs, and a dependent care flexible spending account lets workers set aside pre-tax income for such expenses.
