Current Narrative:
- As of August 28, 2021, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) became the lead agency for the CCDBG for the State of Missouri. The Early Childhood and Prevention Services Section combined with other sections within Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) and DESE to create the Office of Childhood. The Department of Social Services, Family Support Division will still continue to determine family eligibility for the Child Care Subsidy program.
- Missouri has four levels of child care benefits. The first level, Traditional Child Care, is determined at 150% of the FPL. Transitional Child Care (TCC) level 1 is determined between 151% to 185% of the FPL.; TTC2 is determined at 186% to 215% of the FPL.; TTC3 is determined between 216% to 242% of the FPL. Participants are required to pay a daily sliding scale fee based on the level of eligibility. The maximum daily sliding fee at the traditional level (up to 150% FPL) is $5 per day and the maximum daily sliding fee at the transitional level (up to 242% FPL) is $10 per day.
