Policy Statement:
All families approved for CCAP (other than those exempted below) must share in the cost of child care by paying a monthly Family Copayment based on their family size and non-exempt income as illustrated inSection 2060.320 Maximum Monthly Income and Parent Fee by Family Size and Income Level at https://www.ilga.gov/agencies/JCAR/EntirePart?titlepart=02302060 .
If all the children in care are school age* and are approved for only part-time days (less than 5 hours per day) during services months of September through May, the Family Copayment will be assessed at 50% of the amount shown in Administrative Rule 50.320.
* A school age child is a child whose age is 5 to 13 years and is enrolled in school.
The State is responsible for the costs in excess of the assessed copayment up to the state maximum rates. See example in section IV. (C) of this part. The parent is responsible for additional costs charged by the provider that are not reimbursed by CCAP.
