How do I get a relocation packages from a state?

Question

One that includes compensation for living arrangements, and child care costs

Answer 1

Are you going to work for the state, and having to relocate to take the job. If so, they probably have a pretty standard relo package. It might be somewhat negotiable, or might not. It would be unusual for a relo package to include child care costs. Not sure what you mean by living arrangements - many relo packages include an allowance for temporary stays in a motel until you get into your new home.
