Child care subsidies are made available to families who are receiving temporary cash assistance (TCA), or have applied for TCA, or who are not receiving temporary cash assistance but have an income that is within established limits.
To ensure that families continue to have access to the widest range of providers, on January 1, 2002, rates paid to regulated child care providers were increased to the 75th percentile of January 2001 market rates. This represents, on average, a 5 percent rate increase statewide. The maximum monthly rates are as follows:
