Child Care

How is My Child Care Payment Determined?

• The amount of your child care subsidy is based on how many hours you are working and/or participating in approved training activities.
• You will receive a Form 980, Child Care Subsidy Worksheet. Your provider will have to fill this out.
• We will determine a “co-payment” amount that you will be expected to pay your provider. This will be a set amount based on the size of your family and your monthly income.

**Remember, DWS may not cover the total cost of your child care. You are responsible to pay your provider the full amount you owe them.
