Guidance: If a non-legally responsible relative is receiving Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) as a relative payee for the child needing child care, the ADC grant is not counted as income in determining financial eligibility. All other income of the relative is considered. Non-legally responsible relatives who may receive Child Care Subsidy include grandparents, adult brothers and sisters, stepparents, stepbrothers and stepsisters, uncles, aunts, first and second cousins, and adult nephews and nieces. These relatives may be half blood, related by adoption, related by marriage, related by divorce, or from a previous generation as denoted by prefixes of grand and great.

Guidance: Child Care Subsidy considers all child support payments whether it is a tax interception, direct payment, written off/waived, or receipted payments.

392 NAC Chapter 2-011 CATEGORIES OF ELIGIBILITY BASED ON INCOME Guidance: The total amount of the sliding fee assessed will be based on 7% of the household’s gross income for all their children enrolled in the subsidy program. It will not vary with the number of children in care, the amount of care they need, or the type of care they choose to use. The sliding fee must be paid each month to the provider before the provider bills the Department; it covers the first dollars of payment, regardless of when service begins or ends.

Guidance: If the recipient has a change in income during the eligibility period, the sliding fee can decrease and will remain that amount for the duration of the household’s eligibility period. The sliding fee may continue to decrease following a change, if applicable, but the sliding fee cannot increase. Decreases in the sliding fee shall be implemented in the month following the month in which the change is reported and verified.
