Fill out this three question pre-application to see if you are possibly eligible for Child Care Assistance!

To qualify for child care assistance, there are certain income requirements households must meet. DES has also implemented a waiting list for child care assistance with multiple tiers of priority, which is also determined by household income.

Please note: This is not an official application. You will need to submit a Child Care Assistance application to determine full eligibility. This calculator estimates eligibility and waiting list status based on monthly income. You may be exempt from the waiting list if you are receiving other benefits or are within a certain demographic. For more information on the waiting list, please navigate to the waiting list section on the DES Child Care Assistance page.
