We have child care receipts from lunch hour care at their public school. My husband doesn’t work, so does that mean we can’t claim?

That is correct if your husband did not fall under any of the following then the child care credit will not be applied:

 

As per CRA: a) The other person attended school and was enrolled in a part-time educational program.

                      b)The other person attended school and was enrolled in a full-time educational program.

                      c)The other person was not capable of caring for children because of an impairment in physical or mental function. That person must have been confined for a period of at least two weeks to a bed or wheelchair, or as a patient in a hospital, or other similar institution. Attach a statement from the attending physician certifying this information.

                     d)The other person was not capable of caring for children because of an impairment in physical or mental function, and this situation is likely to continue for an indefinite period. Attach a statement from the attending physician certifying this information.

                      e)The other person was confined to a prison or similar institution for a period of at least two weeks.
