Source: Surry County Subsidized Child Care Brochure Eligible Children Subsidized child care can be provided to children who need childcare for one or more of the following reasons:
Parents (or the adult responsible for the care of the child) must apply for child care services. This can be done at The Human Services Center in Mt. Airy, NC. The Subsidized Child Care workers will determine if the parent is eligible for child care services and issue a voucher for child care. The voucher state the hours child care is needed and the parent fee. The parent may select the provider of his/her choice.
Family Income The family income must be within the state's income limits. The parents must pay a fee based upon their countable income and family size. A family size of 1 to 3 would pay 10% of their monthly countable income. A family size of 4 to 5 would pay 9% of their monthly countable income. And, a family of 6 or more would pay 8% of their monthly countable income for child care. For example, a family of three earning $2,600 per month would be expected to pay 10% of their monthly income for child care. The family's total fee would be $260 for full-time care regardless of the number of children in care.
Income Limits
Eligible Providers Parents may choose their provider from a variety of types of providers including licensed centers and homes, church operated programs, and informal arrangements such as care by a relative. Federal regulations require that, in most instances, providers must meet some health and safety standards and agree to certain conditions for the receipt of public funds. In order to receive public funds, a provider must enroll with the county in which the child lives and sign all of the necessary forms including the State Provider Agreement which includes payment policies. The provider must also sign and return the child's /children's voucher to the Subsidized Child Care representative who issued the voucher. In all situations, the provider must be operating legally.
