(idaho-child-care-program)(block-1)Idaho Child Care Program#
The Idaho Child Care Program (ICCP) serves families with children under the age of 13 or over 13 if a child has a disability, providing child care assistance to working families by paying for a portion of child care. The parent’s share is based on the size of the family and the amount of their income.
(idaho-child-care-program)(block-2)Qualify for child care assistance#
We help Idaho families with child care so parents can work, complete job training, or finish school. You may qualify for child care assistance if you have children and are doing one of the following:
Working
Attending school or undergraduate school (online not accepted)
Participating in job training
Participating in the Temporary Assistance for Families in Idaho (TAFI) program
Parents pay a portion of the child care, called a “copay or copayment,” directly to the child care provider. We use the following information to determine how much the state will pay to the child care provider:
Number of hours parents are working, in school, or participating in approved activities
Household income
State rate based on the age of the child, type of care, and location of the provider
Eligibility: Households must meet certain eligibility and income requirements to receive ICCP benefits.
