Child Care Assistance Fees - Iowa

Fees are assessed in accordance with the single unit of service, the half-day unit.

Exception: Fees are not assessed to:

· Families at or below 100% of the federal poverty guidelines (income increment level A in table below).

· Families with a child with protective needs where services are provided without regard to income.

· Participants in approved PROMISE JOBS activities other than paid employment.

When more than one child in a family is receiving child care services, the fee is based on the child who receives the most care (the most units of service). No additional fee is assessed for each other child.

The amount of the fee is assessed by determining the gross monthly income according to family size.

To use the sliding fee schedule to find the half-day fee:

1. Move across the monthly income table to the column headed by the number of people in the family that was used in determining service eligibility.

2. Move down that column to the first row with an amount greater than the monthly family income. Use the row above that row to determine the fee. (Example: Income at or above level B but less than level C is level B fee, $.50 per half day.)

3. When a family has more than 10 members, find the income levels by multiplying the figures in the 4-member column by 0.03. Round the answers to the nearest dollar and multiply by the number in the family in excess of 10. Add the result to the amount in the 10-member column.

* As of June 28, 2001, this schedule had not been changed. To see if the schedule has subsequently been updated, see the Iowa Employee Manual, Title 18, Child Care Chapter I, Child Care Assistance, Authorizing Services, Fee Schedule.
