 What is the application process?

The Child Care Assistance Program is based on the availability of funds. If funds are available at the time your application is received, you will be contacted by the local Program Eligibility Specialist.  This will verify your eligibility for child care assistance.

If funds are not available at the time your application was received, the local Program Eligibility Specialist will send a notification to you which explains you have been placed on a waiting list for the county of your residence.  Your application will only be effective for twelve (12) months as stated on your application.  If you still require assistance at the end of the (12) months, then you must submit a new application to remain on the waiting list.
