Determining income eligibility and copayment.
(1) For the SCC program, DCYF determines consumers' family income eligibility and copayment by:
(a) Their family size as defined under WAC
110-15-3540;
(b) Their average monthly income as calculated under WAC
110-15-3620; and
(c) Their family's average monthly income as compared to the SMI.
(2) At application and reapplication, consumers are not eligible for the SCC program when their family income is above the maximum eligibility limit as provided in WAC
110-15-0005.
(3) SCC will assign a copayment amount based on families' countable income. Consumers pay the copayment directly to their child care providers.
(4) SCC does not prorate copayments.
