Income Limits for the Subsidized Child Day Care Program

[28 Pa.B. 2969]

   The Department of Public Welfare (Department) increases the income limits codified at 55 Pa. Code § 3040.62(c), § 3040.63(a)(4), (b), and (c), and § 3040 Appendix B effective July 1, 1998. Based on the increased income limits, the Department of Public Welfare has also revised Appendix C, reference companion to Appendix B and Fee Formula--Statement of Policy.

   The regulation at 55 Pa. Code § 3040.62(c) establishes the Department's requirement to update the income conversion charts located at 55 Pa. Code Chapter 3040 Appendix B and the companion Fee Schedule in Appendix C. Appendices B and C are being revised to reflect the changes in the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines (FPIG) which establish the annual income guidelines for the subsidized child day care program. As per § 3040.63, effective July 1, 1998, the income guidelines will be increased due to the increase in the FPIG. These changes will be used when the eligibility agent determines eligibility and establishes a weekly family fee. The Fee Schedule is adjusted to reflect the increases in the income guidelines. Appendix B establishes the income limit of 235% of the FPIG to be used to establish a family's eligibility. Appendix B also establishes the family fee levels according to the family's computed annual income and the family's priority for service in comparing the computed family income to the percentage of the FPIG. Appendix C lists the weekly family fee based on the annual family income.

   Under 55 Pa. Code § 3040.62(c), the Department revised the income limits for the subsidized child day care program effective July 1, 1998. Those limits and corresponding fees are set forth in Appendices B and C which are recommended for codification in 55 Pa. Code Chapter 3040.
