BILL NUMBER: S1274
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the social services law, in relation to limiting
co-payments for child care subsidies
PURPOSE :
This bill eliminates co-payments for any family receiving child care
assistance whose income is at or below the state income standard. This
bill also caps the amount of co-payment a person can be held
responsible for at ten percent of their household income.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section 1 amends subdivision 6 of section 410-x of the social services
law, by eliminating co-payments for those who receive child care
assistance and have incomes at or below the state income standard, as
well as capping such co-payments at ten percent of the household
income.
EXISTING LAW :
Currently the co-payment of a family receiving child care assistance
is set by subtracting the poverty level for the household size from
their income, and then choosing a multiplier between 10 and 35 percent
(determined by the locality) to apply against the balance.
