Monthly Gross Earned Income + Monthly Unearned Income = Total Monthly Income To calculate your household’s total monthly income, add the gross amount of all earned income (the amount of income from employment before deductions are taken out) to the amount of all unearned income (such as Social Security benefits, child support, or other cash assistance) that is received by everyone in your household during the month.

You must also report a non-temporary change that affects your need for child care within 10 days of the change. Examples of non-temporary changes include: • Loss of employment; or • Completion of an education or training program; or • Permanent change in state residency

To report a change: • Call the Change Report Center at 1-866-843-7212; or • Contact your local Division of Social Services office; or • Login to your Delaware ASSIST account at https://assist.dhss.delaware.gov
