Child Care Eligibility Levels & Maximum Payment Rates Chart

(2  pages)

The Child Care program helps pay for child care needed so that the parents or the caretakers of a child can attend job training, look for a job or go to school or work.  Costs are reimbursed up to established maximums that differ based on gross income, age of a child and whether the care is provided by a contract center, non-contract/licensed provider or non-contract/license exempt provider.  Higher reimbursement rates may be available for providers who care for disabled children.  An individual does not have to receive public assistance to receive help with the costs of child care.
