The income level does not apply to TANF, Crossroads, or Diversion cases as income for these cases is not counted. The income level applies to Co-pay cases.
Gross income is the income before any deductions. The gross income, earned and unearned, of all household members will be used for the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) including the members in a loco parentis household, stepparent, and unmarried couples where paternity of at least one child in common is acknowledged or adjudicated.
Net countable income is determined by taking the gross countable income and deducting court ordered child and/or spousal support.
The net countable income and household size of the family is matched against the Child Care Sliding Fee Schedule to determine if a family meets the income level for CCAP.
The household’s income must be tested against the income level and applied to the Child Care Sliding Fee Schedule at initial application, 6 month review, when adding and removing household members and when a case changes from Waived Co-pay to Co-pay.
If the household size and net countable income exceed the limit on the Child Care Sliding Fee Schedule, the household is not eligible and the following action must be taken:
- At application, the application will be denied
- At 6 month review, the case will be closed
- When adding person(s) or removing person(s) at the same time, the case would be closed.
