Child Care Service Family Fee Schedule
The Family Fee Schedule is based on the SMI annually using the Department of Finance ACS. For Initial Certification when screening for Stage II Child Care, families are eligible if their incomes, adjusted for family size, does not exceed 85% of the SMI.
At Recertification, the Payment Providers will also use the 85% SMI when determining eligibility for subsidized child care.
