What to Expect After you receive your application packet you will need to complete
the forms included with it. The application for Child Care is a
shortened application and should be fairly easy to complete.
You may also need to provide ID; birth certificates; Social Security
cards; divorce, separation, or custody papers; and verification
of all income.
Once we get your returned application packet we will review it
for completeness. If we need more information we will send you
a letter telling you what we still need. After all the necessary
paperwork is received we will make an eligibility decision within
30 days from your application date.
Parent Fees Most individuals pay a portion of the child care
expense to the child care provider. This payment is called the
Parent Fee or Family Share, and will vary according to the family's income.
Resource Limit There is a resource limit of $1 Million Dollars for child care assistance.
