Child Care And Development Fund (CCDF) Subsidies
 

Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) subsidies assist low-income families with the cost of child care so that they may work or prepare for employment. State CCDF subsidy programs provide assistance in the form of either a contracted child care slot or a voucher that may be used to access care by any provider that meets state requirements. Grantees and other providers may find this information useful in determining family co-payments or the full cost of care.


Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Subsidies

Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) subsidies are federal-state benefits—the national government sets broad requirements for state CCDF subsidy programs, but states maintain a wide degree of discretion, and income eligibility limits, work requirements, state payment rates, family co-payments, and other key program decisions vary greatly across the states.
