Frequently Asked Questions

Am I eligible for Child Care?

Eligibility is based on your answer to the following two questions:

  1. How many people are in the family (parents and children)?
  2. Are you working, attending school, or receiving cash assistance?

What are the income guidelines?

Review the current income guidelines for the Child Care Choice Program.

Can I use an out-of-county provider?

Yes, as long as they have a contract with the State of Ohio.

How much am I going to have to pay?

The co-payment is based on the gross amount of income, not the number of hours needed.
