Child Care Service Family Fee Schedule

The family fee schedule is based on the American Community Survey (ACS) and the State Median Income (SMI), which is provided annually by the Department of Finance (DOF). For initial certification when screening for Stage II Child Care, families are eligible if their incomes, adjusted for family size, do not exceed 85% of the SMI.

At recertification, Alternative Payment Providers (APPs) will also use the 85% SMI when determining eligibility for subsidized child care.
