Provider TIER 1 Eligibility
If you are a TIER 2 provider and think that you might qualify as a TIER 1 provider based on the new family income guidelines, then call your sponsor who will send you an application and help you determine whether or not you will qualify. Remember, since you are self-employed your NET income (after deductions) counts not your GROSS.
Day Care Child TIER 1 Eligibility
If you are a TIER 2 provider then you have an option as to whether or not you wish to income qualify any, all or none of your day care children. If individual day care children qualify based on the new family income guidelines, then you can be paid at the higher rate for that child's meals. For more information about qualifying individual day care children, call your sponsor .
Food Reimbursement – Licensed Centers
Centers that participate in the CACFP receive financial assistance from the USDA to help cover the cost of serving nutritious meals and snacks to the children in care. Completion of an Income Eligibility Form [IEF] assists them in obtaining the maximum rate of reimbursement, which helps them maintain reasonably priced child care.
A maximum of two meals (breakfast, lunch, or supper) and one snack (morning, afternoon or evening) or one meal and two snacks may be claimed per child per day. Reimbursement rates are based on income or geographical eligibility of the provider or children in care.
