Income Limits for the Subsidized Child Day Care Program

[31 Pa.B. 5325]

   The Department of Public Welfare (Department) increased the income limits codified at 55 Pa. Code § 3040.62(b) and Chapter 3040 Appendix B effective March 5, 2001.

   The regulation at 55 Pa. Code § 3040.62(a) and (b) requires the Department to update 55 Pa. Code Chapter 3040 Appendix B, the copayment schedule to reflect changes in the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines (FPIG). Effective March 5, 2001, the income guidelines for the subsidized child day care program were increased due to the increase in the FPIG. The copayment schedule is adjusted to reflect the increases in the income guidelines. A family is eligible if, at initial application, the family's income is 200% or less of the FPIG and the income is 235% or less after initial authorization. Appendix B also establishes the family copayment levels according to the family's computed annual income. Appendix B lists the weekly family copayment based on the annual family income.

   Under 55 Pa. Code § 3040.62(b), the Department of Public Welfare revised the income limits for the subsidized child day care program effective March 5, 2001. Those limits and corresponding fees are set forth in Appendix B, which is recommended for codification in 55 Pa. Code Chapter 3040.
