Child Care Voucher Program: Eligibility
To be considered for the Child Care Voucher Program, you must have worked for
the state in the current year and in the previous year and you
must have met all of the following eligibility requirements for
the previous year:
- Your family’s adjusted gross
income did not exceed
the income ceiling set by your collective bargaining unit. To
determine your adjusted gross income you must complete your federal IRS income
tax form 1040. The last line on the front of the form 1040 states, "This
is your adjusted gross income." You must provide a copy
of your form 1040 with your application to show your adjusted
gross income.
- If you were married as of December 31 of the previous
year, you must include your spouse’s income tax form 1040.
If you are separated you may file taxes independently for the IRS,
but for the purposes of this program, you and your spouse’s
income are combined to determine your family adjusted gross income.
The IRS 1040 is not to determine marital status, but rather to
verify income.
- You were an exempt employee or represented by either
OCSEA/AFSCME Local 11 or District 1199.
- You were a full-time permanent
or part-time permanent employee.
- Your qualifying child care expenses
were greater than or equal to the amount set by your collective
bargaining agreement. If you worked less than 2,080 hours
the previous year, your expenses must be greater than or equal
to the prorated amount based on the number of hours and pay periods
actually worked.
