5.3 Co-payment Changes

Co-payments may not be increased during an eligibility period. However, co-payment may be decreased during the eligibility period due to a change in qualifying activity, loss of employment, decrease in income, or increase in family size. The family’s assigned eligibility worker will determine if the co-payment fee decreases after a reported change. If there is a decrease in co-payment, the assigned eligibility worker must complete a Co-Payment Change Notification Form. The eligibility worker will then share the Co-Payment Change Notification Form with the parent(s) or guardian(s) to sign and provide the signed form to the child development facility (if the eligibility worker is from DHS CCSD).
