See "Income Eligibility Gross Monthly Income and Family Size July 1, 1999" in Income Eligibility.
The percentage applied from the schedule is used for all children in the family who are in subsidized care.
Except for Protective Services, Family Support, and PATH children, a child who is 100% subsidy still must have a minimum of $1.00 per week of parent fee for each enrollment. In this instance, 100% subsidy is the applicable rate minus the $1.00 per week.
The parent fee is not collected by the CDD.
The parent fee for reporting purposes is computed as the difference between the amount paid by CDD and the full pay amount. The full pay amount of either the State rate or provider rate, whichever is higher.
