Increase in Income Eligibility for Child Care Assistance

Official source

Effective July 1, 2023, initial family income eligibility for CCDF and On My Way PreK (OMWPK) will increase from 127% of the federal poverty level to 150% - which equals around $45,000 in annual income for a family of four. This expansion will create access for approximately 11,000 more Hoosier children and families to receive assistance.

Following required system changes, families may begin applying for CCDF under the new rates on August 1 through Early Ed Connect. OMWPK families should continue to apply and have their eligibility determined to ensure they are enrolled to start the school year on time.

OECOSL has developed communication toolkits for both child care providers and community stakeholders to help them share information about expanded eligibility with families. To get started, access the provider toolkit here and the community stakeholder toolkit here .
