Federal regulations require each family receiving Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) benefits to contribute towards the monthly costs of such care.

• The portion that a family is responsible to contribute is called a Co-pay.
• The Co-pay that is applied to child care costs incurred each month is referred to as Family Monthly Co-pay.

The Co-pay requirement is waived for families receiving TANF, Diversion and Crossroads.

 

Families who are not waived from the Co-pay requirement are subject to a Family Monthly Co-pay when determining their CCAP eligibility. In addition to the Co-pay, the family is responsible for any amount that is charged over the State Maximum Monthly Share amount.

 

It is the responsibility of the provider to collect the Co-pay from the family. Verification that the Co-pay has been paid is not required.
