2. Who needs to apply?

My child is already enrolled in child care — if you are not currently required to pay co-pays or fees, you don’t need to do anything! If you currently have a co-pay or pay fees, you must re-apply to update your enrollment and eliminate your payments.

My child is not enrolled in child care — families not currently enrolled must apply.

I was denied before because of income — you can reapply starting November 1, 2025. Income is no longer a reason for denial. Child Care Assistance hours are no longer tied to your work or school schedule.
