    Award Details

    Assistance levels are determined using a formula based on family size, gross income (before taxes), and the

    Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Depending on your family income, you may be responsible for a co-payment. This

    co-payment will remain the same no matter how many children you have in care, the number of hours they are in

    care, or what your provider charges per hour.
