CCAP – Child Care Assistance Program
CCAP helps pay childcare expenses for low-income families. Adult household members must be in an allowable activity – employment, education, or training for the family to be eligible for CCAP. Children must be under age 13. Older children may be eligible if they are physically or mentally incapable of caring for themselves or in need of supervised care. Child care will only be paid for the time a child needs to have care so the adult caretaker can participate in their allowable activity.
