Subsidized Child Day Care Eligibility
[29 Pa.B. 6242] The Department of Public Welfare (Department) by this order adopts amendments to Chapter 3040 (relating to subsidized child care eligibility), under the authority of Articles II, IV and VII of the Public Welfare Code (62 P. S. §§ 201--211, 401--493 and 701--703), the act of December 16, 1997 (P. L. 549, No. 58) (Act 58) and Title VI of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) (Pub. L. No. 104-193), known as the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9858--9858q).
Purpose of Amendments
These amendments will change certain sections of Chapter 3040 relating both to income limits for low-income families who receive child care subsidy and to the weekly co-payment schedule. These amendments also apply to subsidized child care recipients who are receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits. The changes will provide increased access to subsidized child care for low-income working families and include refinements to the Department's subsidized child care program. Proposed rulemaking is omitted because the amendments relate to Commonwealth grants and benefits (45 P. S. § 1204 (1)(iv)). In addition, proposed rulemaking is omitted as unnecessary and contrary to public interest because these changes increase benefits to many families who are eligible for the subsidized child care program and make additional families eligible beginning February 1, 2000. By omitting proposed rulemaking, families will receive the benefits much sooner and families with income between 186% and 235% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines (FPIG) will not lose their child care subsidy beginning February 1, 2000. See (45 P. S. § 1204(3)).
Background
The current regulations for subsidized child care are codified in Chapters 165 and 168 (relating to employment and training program; and transitional child care) and Chapter 3040 and became effective February 1, 1999. Chapters 165 and 168 establish eligibility criteria for child care benefits for families who are receiving cash assistance benefits under the TANF program. Chapter 3040 establishes eligibility criteria for families who formerly received cash assistance and for other low-income working families.
When the current regulations were adopted, the Department made a commitment to monitor the impact of the regulations on TANF families, former TANF families and other low-income working families. The Department tracked, through monthly reports from the Child Care Information Services (CCIS) agencies, the number of children enrolled in subsidized care, the number of children on the waiting list, the length of time families were on the waiting list for subsidized child care, the number of families who left the subsidized child care program and the number of families on the waiting list who did not enroll in the subsidized child care program because of the co-payment amounts. The Department also received comments from parents, providers, advocates and legislators regarding the impact of the current regulations.
From the monitoring results, the Department determined that the enrollment of children into the subsidized child care program greatly increased since February 1999; and the waiting list was substantially reduced both in terms of time families waited for subsidy and the number of families on the waiting list for any length of time. The results indicated that nearly 95% of the children on the waiting list prior to February 1999 were enrolled into service; the time families spent waiting for subsidized child care dropped from an average of 6 to 8 months to an average of a few weeks at most; less than 2% of families on the waiting list refused subsidized child care because of the co-payment amount; and the number of families leaving the subsidized child care program since February 1999 increased approximately 1% over the previous year.
However, the comments from parents and other individuals identified three major areas in the current regulations that created difficulties for some families: the income limit (185% of the FPIG) for receiving subsidized child care after February 1, 2000; the amount of the weekly co-payment generally; and the amount of the co-payment specifically for parents with only one child who is school-age and needs only part-time before- and after-school care.
There were suggestions that the Department return to the co-payment schedule and the income limit of 235% of the FPIG for initial eligibility for subsidized child care that were in place prior to February 1, 1999. While the Department did not see a large number of families leave the subsidized child care program, there was a concern that families whose income exceeded 185% of the FPIG as of February 1, 2000, who under the current regulation would lose subsidy, would be at risk of not being able to handle the full cost of child care. The Department determined that to return to the income limits for initial eligibility that were in place prior to February 1, 1999, without a comparable waiting list priority system would either mean an increase in the budget of $110 million per year or would necessitate extensive cuts in availability of a child care subsidy for low-income families below 185% of the FPIG. The Department determined that it could continue eligibility for subsidy to families whose income did not exceed 235% of the FPIG to remain in the subsidized child care program and pay an increased co-payment without jeopardizing the pace of enrollment into the subsidized child care program, service for the families already receiving subsidy, or the length of time that families wait for subsidized child care.
Additionally, the Department determined that it should also revise the co-payment schedule to reflect the higher income limit. In doing that, the Department also made a decision to lower the maximum percentage of annual gross income that a family would be required to pay from 14.5% at 185% of the FPIG to 13.5% at 235% of the FPIG. As a result, the weekly co-payment for about one-third of those families with annual income below 200% of the FPIG will be reduced by $5 to $10 per week. These decreases take place in many of the income ranges below 200% of the FPIG, including some below 100% of the FPIG. The majority of the decreases are for families within the income ranges of 170% to 200% of the FPIG. The families in these income ranges had some of the largest co-payment increases when the current co-payment schedule became effective February 1, 1999.
On October 1, 1999, the Department administratively implemented the co-payment reduction for those families whose co-payments will be less under the new regulations than under the current regulations. The Department also administratively implemented the provision that families with only one school-age child needing before- and after-school care pay one-half the weekly co-payment. That was effective March 1, 1999.
Purpose of the Amendments
The Department determined that there are adequate resources to increase the income limits for families to remain eligible for subsidized child care and adjust the co-payment schedule to reflect the higher income limits. The purpose of amending the regulations is to expand the eligibility limit for families continuing to receive subsidized child care from 185% to 235% of the FPIG; to revise the co-payment schedule to achieve more uniform increments in co-payments for families as income increases; to cap the co-payment for families whose income does not exceed 235% of the FPIG at 13.5% of their annual income; and to allow families who have only one child needing part-time before- and after-school care to pay one-half the weekly co-payment.
Summary of Changes
There are three changes in the new and revised regulations: 1) an increase in the income limit for families receiving subsidized child care; 2) a revised co-payment schedule that reflects the higher income limit and a reduction from 14.5% to 13.5% as the highest amount of a family's annual gross income to be used for the family's co-payment; and 3) a provision that a family with only one child receiving part-time before- and after-school care pay one-half of the weekly co-payment. Following is a discussion of the changes. The description of the one-half weekly co-payment for a child in school is included with the discussion on co-payment.
Changes to Income Limit
Current Regulations--A family whose annual income is at or below 185% of the FPIG can apply for and receive subsidized child care. Once enrolled in subsidized child care, families whose annual income is between 186% and 235% of the FPIG can continue to receive subsidized child care until February 1, 2000. Under the current regulations, these families will lose their child care subsidy effective February 1, 2000. The income limit for eligibility for entry into the subsidized child care program remains at 185% of the FPIG.
New Regulations--In § 3040.27, the Department is deleting the grandfathering provision which indicates that a family who is enrolled in the subsidized child care program prior to February 1, 1999, and whose income exceeds 185% of the FPIG and is not greater than 235% of the FPIG continues to receive subsidized child care until February 1, 2000. The Department is revising § 3040.32(f) to provide that a family that applies for subsidized child care is ineligible if the family's gross annual income exceeds 185% of the FPIG. The Department is adding a new subsection (g) to § 3040.32 to indicate that when a family is receiving subsidized child care and its gross annual income exceeds 235% of the FPIG, that family is ineligible for subsidized child care.
The Department has determined that after February 1, 2000, as a family's income increases beyond 185% of the FPIG and up to 235% of the FPIG, the family could benefit from a continuation of a child care subsidy. There are 4,000 children who currently would benefit from this change. If these regulations are not adopted, subsidy for these children will be terminated effective February 1, 2000. Continuing to receive subsidized child care eases a family's transition to paying for the full cost of child care once subsidy ends. Without a continued subsidy, many families may experience a financial difficulty in paying the full cost of child care once their income is greater than 185% of the FPIG, and may risk losing their child care services.
Copayments
Current Regulations--The current regulations include a co-payment schedule in which a family's weekly co-payment is a family fee based on income and family size regardless of the number of children needing subsidized care. Under this co-payment schedule, the family's annual co-payment does not exceed 10% of the family's annual income when the family's income does not exceed 100% of the FPIG, and does not exceed 14.5% of the family's annual income when the family's income does not exceed 185% of the FPIG. Families whose income is more than 185% of the FPIG and not more than 235% of the FPIG and who were ''grandfathered'' until February 1, 2000, are paying the same co-payment as families whose income is 185% of the FPIG. Consequently, families with incomes from 185% to 235% of the FPIG pay a lower percentage of their income for child care than some families with incomes at 185% of the FPIG. Also, there is no provision in the current regulation for families with only one child who is enrolled in school to pay one-half of the weekly co-payment when that child is receiving only part-time, before- and after-school care.
New Regulations--In § 3040.63, the Department is revising the co-payment schedule to accommodate families enrolled in the subsidized child care program whose income increases up to 235% of the FPIG.
Under the revised co-payment schedule, the Department retains the principle that a family's weekly co-payment is based on income and family size, regardless of the number of children needing subsidized child care.
The revised co-payment schedule provides for increases in the weekly co-payment of $5 as the family's annual income increases into a higher income range. Each co-payment amount of $5 is applicable to income ranges set at intervals of $1,650. By using an income range set at intervals of $1,650 for each co-payment level, minor fluctuations in income will not result in a change of co-payment for a family, unless the change puts them in a new income range. The income ranges allow a family's income to fluctuate up or down without a resulting co-payment change.
In subsection (a)(3), the Department is revising this paragraph to provide that the family's annual co-payment may not exceed 13.5% of the family's annual income when the annual income does not exceed 235% of the FPIG.
In other changes to § 3040.63, the Department is:
* Adding a provision that the family's annual co-payment may not exceed 10% of the family's annual income when the annual income does not exceed 100% of the FPIG.
* Adding a provision that if the family's annual income exceeds 235% of the FPIG during any time the family is receiving subsidized child care, the family will no longer be eligible for subsidized child care.
* Adding a provision that if the family's annual income does not exceed 185% of the FPIG at the time of initial determination of eligibility and does not exceed 235% of the FPIG during the time the family is receiving subsidized child care, the family is income-eligible.
* Revising the co-payment schedule in Appendix B, which reflects family size, income limits and weekly co-payment amounts.
* Adding a provision to allow a family that has only one child who is enrolled in school, including kindergarten, and who receives a total of fewer than 5 hours daily of before- or after-school, or both, child care to pay one-half the weekly co-payment found in Appendix B.
The Department is revising the co-payment schedule at Appendix B to accommodate families whose income increases to 235% of the FPIG and reducing the percentage of a family's income that is required to meet the family's weekly co-payment responsibility.
Some families with income between 200% and 235% of the FPIG who otherwise would have become ineligible for subsidized child care on February 1, 2000, when the ''grandfather'' clause expires, will continue to receive a subsidy but will pay a higher co-payment than families with income at 185% of the FPIG. The amount of the increased weekly co-payment for these families is far less than the actual weekly cost of child care these families would have to pay if their subsidy were terminated effective February 1, 2000. This increased co-payment is proportional to increases in co-payments that other families receiving subsidy experience as their income increases. The revised co-payment schedule also includes the co-payment amounts for some families whose income is between 170% and 185% of the FPIG which are lower than reflected in the previously published co-payment schedule in Appendix B.
In addition, the Department is changing the co-payment schedule to reflect more equal, progressive increments in co-payments as a family's income increases. An additional revision is the method for determining the co-payment. The Department is deleting the formula used to determine the co-payment amount in current § 3040.63(d)(2). The complex formula resulted in anomalies when the annual FPIG changed in 1999. The revision to the regulations enables the Department to revise the co-payment schedule to reflect the annual FPIG changes and results in co-payments that are increased in $5 intervals when a family's annual income increases by $1,650. The Department will issue appropriate revisions to the co-payment schedule annually when the FPIG is revised.
Under the current regulation, a family with only one school-age child needing part-time before- and after-school care had to pay a full weekly co-payment that often was a greater amount than the weekly cost of child care, leaving the family ineligible for a subsidy. Many of these families expressed concern about the lack of alternatives for care of their children during these periods. The Department recognized that these families might leave their children unattended before and after school and could benefit from subsidized child care.
Fiscal Impact
Public Sector Commonwealth--The Department will realize an increase in costs to the subsidized child care program of $7 million on an annual basis because of the revisions to the current co-payment schedule. The Department will provide the additional funds to offset the increase in costs to assure there are adequate resources to continue services to children receiving subsidy and to assure that no children are terminated from subsidy because of lack of available funds.
Political Subdivisions--Local governments will not have increased costs due to these final-form regulations.
Private Sector Approximately 4,000 children whose family income falls between 185% and 235% of the FPIG who were receiving subsidized child care and who otherwise would have lost subsidy effective February 1, 2000, will continue to remain in the subsidized child care program after February 1, 2000. All families whose income is below 185% of the FPIG can apply for subsidy and are eligible to continue to receive subsidy until their income reaches 235% of the FPIG, assuming they meet all other eligibility factors. It is estimated that there will be 2,500 to 3,000 families that will be affected by this change annually and that will remain eligible when their family income ranges from 186% to 235% of the FPIG. In addition, nearly 23,000 families will realize a decrease in their weekly co-payment amounts based on the new co-payment schedule.
General Public There will be a benefit to the general public. Families are able to remain eligible for subsidized child care until their income reaches 235% of the FPIG. Remaining in subsidized child care will help families remain self-sufficient because they have adequate child care supports to continue employment. Some families with incomes below 185% of the FPIG will have lower weekly co-payment amounts than under the current regulations. Also, families with only one child attending school and needing part-time before- and after-school care will pay one-half the weekly co-payment.
Paperwork Requirements
The eligibility agents, the CCIS agencies in each county, will experience a time-limited increase in paperwork because they will need to complete eligibility redeterminations and determine a co-payment amount for families receiving subsidized child care whose income falls between 185% and 235% of the FPIG after February 1, 2000.
Effective Date
The final-omitted regulations are effective February 1, 2000.
Sunset Date
No sunset date applies to these final-omitted regulations.

Subpart B. ELIGIBILITY FOR SUBSIDY
CHAPTER 3040. SUBSIDIZED CHILD CARE ELIGIBILITY § 3040.27. (Reserved).
§ 3040.32. Financial eligibility.
(a) The parent/caretaker shall provide paystubs indicating gross earned income for any 4 consecutive weeks within the most recent 6-week period for employed family members.
(b) Family members unable to provide paystubs because of exceptional employment circumstances shall provide documentation of earned income as follows:
(1) If paystubs are not available at the time of application because the employed family member has not been employed for 4 weeks, written documentation of anticipated gross earned income from the employer is sufficient evidence of earnings. The documentation is satisfactory until, but not after, the family member is employed for 8 consecutive weeks, at which time the family member shall present the paystubs.
(2) If income is received in cash, written employer documentation of gross earned income for 4 consecutive weeks within the most recent 6-week period is sufficient documentation.
(c) The eligibility agent shall require, and the parent/caretaker shall provide, documentation of all unearned family income unless specifically excluded in Appendix A, Part III (relating to income exclusions). See Appendix A, Part I (relating to income inclusions) which lists the unearned income included when computing the adjusted monthly income.
(d) The parent/caretaker shall seek all available income listed in Appendix A, Part I, except cash assistance.
(e) The parent/caretaker shall document all income deductions listed in Appendix A, Part II (relating to income deductions).
(f) The family is ineligible for child care subsidy at initial determination of eligibility if the annual family income exceeds 185% of FPIG.
(g) The family is ineligible for child care subsidy at redetermination if the annual family income exceeds 235% of FPIG.
§ 3040.63. Calculating a co-payment.
(a) The determination of a family co-payment considers the following:
(1) The family size and income.
(2) The co-payment may not be less than $5.
(3) The family's annual co-payment may not exceed 13.5% of the family's annual income.
(4) If the family's annual income is 100% of FPIG or less, the annual co-payment may not exceed 10% of the family's annual income.
(b) The eligibility agent shall determine a family's adjusted monthly income as follows:
(1) Determine the gross monthly income by using documentation of 4 consecutive weeks of income from employment within the most recent 6-week period. Include other sources of income in Appendix A, Part I (relating to sources of earned or unearned income to be included). Following is the conversion method to determine gross monthly income:
Frequency of income Conversion method Daily Multiply the daily income by the number of workdays in a week, then multiply by 4.3 Weekly Multiply by 4.3 Biweekly (every 2 weeks) Divide by 2, then multiply by 4.3 Semimonthly (twice a month) Multiply by 2 for monthly gross income. Monthly Use the figure given. Quarterly Divide by 3. Annually Divide by 12. Lump sum income Divide by 12. (2) Determine the amount of the monthly income deductions listed in Appendix A, Part II.
(3) Determine the adjusted monthly income by subtracting the total monthly deductions from the total gross monthly income.
(4) Convert the adjusted monthly income to annual income by multiplying the adjusted monthly income by 12.
(c) If at initial application, the annual income for the family exceeds 185% of the FPIG or if at redetermination the annual income for the family exceeds 235% of the FPIG, the family is not eligible for subsidized child care.
(d) If the annual income for the family does not exceed 185% of the FPIG at initial determination of eligibility or does not exceed 235% of the FPIG at redetermination and the family is otherwise eligible, the eligibility agent shall determine the co-payment by using the co-payment chart in Appendix B. The co-payment as set forth in Appendix B is calculated in $5 increments for each $1,650 of annual income.
(e) If a family has only one child who is enrolled in school, including kindergarten, and who receives a total of fewer than 5 hours daily of before- or after-school child care, the family shall pay one-half the weekly amount derived from the chart in Appendix B.
(f) If the co-payment is equal to or exceeds the weekly reimbursement rate for care or if the Department's weekly payment to the provider would be less than $5, the family is not eligible for child care subsidy with that provider.
