The Alternative Payment Program (APP), funded by Department of Social Services, offers financial assistance for parents needing child care. The APP helps families arrange child care services and makes payments for those services directly to the child care provider selected by the family. The APP is intended to increase parental choice and accommodate the individual needs of the family. Recipients of this program are based on income and need.
Need verification is a requirement for participation in any of these programs which means that the family is income-eligible and has a documented, independent verifiable need of Child Care services. There needs to be verification that there is no parent in the family capable of providing care for the family’s child and that supervision of the family’s child is not otherwise being provided by school or another person during the time that Child Care services is being requested. If there is a verified need, staff will assist parents in determining their eligibility status and the appropriate placement for their children in any of the following programs. The parent(s) shall document total countable income for all the individuals counted in the family size.
FIND OUT IF YOU QUALIFY
If you are on cash aid (welfare) at the present time, or have been in the last 24 months, you may be eligible for Child Care if you are also:
working, or attending school or vocational training, or seeking employment.
Based upon CalWORKs, eligible parents can obtain subsidized Child Care from the provider of their choice.
The CalWORKs Child Care Program is administered in three stages. Stage One is administered by the county cash-aid departments. Stages Two and Three are administered by Alternative Payment Program (APP) agencies under contract with the California Department of Education (CDE).
The stages are intended to provide a smooth transition for families from short-term Child Care to stable long-term care needed for families to become self-sufficient.

You need to get in touch with your eligibility worker with the county and notify your worker that you are in need of Child Care. Your worker should refer you to the CalWORKs Stage One Child Care contractor for the county, or if you have to apply for the Eligibility Waiting List, to Child Development Resources.

When will I know when it’s my turn?
You will be notified by phone or mail when funding becomes available. At that time your income, family size, and other information will be verified to assure that your family falls within the income rank we are currently enrolling. You will be asked to provide written documentation of your income; employment, school enrollment, and other information needed to determine eligibility for Child Care services.
If we determine that your actual rank income puts your family higher than the ranks we are presently enrolling, your application will be returned to the Child Development Resources Eligibility Waiting List. You must have documented need for Child Care because you are working, seeking work, or attending school or training for all of the programs except for Head Start and State Preschool. If you do not have a valid need for Child Care at the time you are notified of enrollment, your application will be returned to the Child Development Resources Eligibility Waiting List unless you are being contacted by Head Start.

What services does the program offer?
Eligible families who are certified for the Alternative Payment Program (APP) may choose Child Care of their choice with a licensed Child Care center or Family Child Care home, or with an unlicensed adult such as a relative, friend or neighbor who will care for the parent’s children only.
Or, eligible families may be enrolled by a specific Child Care center.
In APP all Child Care providers must complete an approval process with the appropriate Alternative Payment Program (APP) agency and receive a provider agreement before they can receive reimbursement for children in their care. Children in the same family can have different Child Care providers. Parents can change Child Care arrangements with prior approval by the Parent Services Specialist. Depending on the parents’ needs, children can receive services full-time or part-time, as well as in the evening, overnight or on weekends. This program does NOT reimburse private school tuition for children attending kindergarten or elementary school. Only before-and-after school childcare, as well as full-time during off-track, summer or holiday periods can be reimbursed.
In a Head Start or center-based program, your child will be enrolled in a specific center; in some cases the child must be three or four years old.
When your name is next on the Child Development Resources Eligibility Waiting List, the agency will explain which of these programs you are being enrolled in.

Immediate need payments may be made for families with emergency situations while the CalWORKs application is being processed, if eligible. The maximum immediate need payment is $200.
Income Limits for Applicants
CalWORKs regulations provide for a gross income limit which is determined by subtracting $90 from the earned income of each employed person, then adding all remaining earned and unearned income to determine the gross income for family. That amount is then compared to the Minimum Basic Standard of Adequate Care (MBSAC) level for the family size.
If the family’s total gross income after the $90 deduction/s exceeds the MBSAC level for the family size, the family is not eligible.
Client Responsibility
Once aid is granted, the CalWORKs family must report changes in their income, household composition, and property to their Eligibility Worker every 6-months on their Semi-Annual Eligibility Report (SAR 7) or at their annual redetermination. Some other things must be reported within 10 days of the occurrence:
- A member of the household becomes a fleeing felon, is convicted of a drug felony, and/or violates a condition of parole/probation.
- The combined earned and unearned monthly income of the household exceeds the Income Reporting Threshold (IRT) for their household size.
- The household has an address change.
An annual redetermination of eligibility is required for CalWORKs recipients.
Work Disregards
When a cash aid recipient is employed or receives disability based income, CalWORKs regulations allow the following deductions from the monthly gross income:
- $550.
00 from the combined earnings, disability based income or a combination of both.- This will change from $550 to $600 effective June 1, 2022
- 50% of the earnings remaining after the $550.00 (or $600 after 6/1/22) is deducted
Any income remaining after the deductions are subtracted from the monthly gross income is then subtracted from the MAP amount to determine the amount of the CalWORKs grant.
Maximum Aid Payment (MAP) Levels
| Eligible persons | Non-exempt MAP | Exempt MAP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $579 | $638 |
| 2 | 733 | 819 |
| 3 | 925 | 1,035 |
| 4 | 1,116 | 1,244 |
| 5 | 1,308 | 1,458 |

| 8 | 1,883 | 2,104 |
| 9 | 2,074 | 2,316 |
| 10 | 2,266 | 2,534 |
| Each Add’l | 0 | 0 |
The monthly Maximum Aid Payment (MAP) level is established by the California State Legislature based on family size.
Families who do not have any income other than CalWORKs receive MAP. MAP levels vary based on whether or not the adults in the household are able to work.
- The MAP level for households with adult caretakers who are able to work is lower than the MAP level for households with adult caretakers who are not able to work. This is called the non-exempt MAP level.
- When the adults in the household are not able to work because of a temporary or permanent incapacity, or because the adult is a teen parent who attends high school, the family receives a higher MAP. Child only cases, i.e., cases where no adults are receiving aid, also receive the higher MAP level. This is called the exempt MAP level.
The table above reflects the current NON EXEMPT MAP, and EXEMPT MAP (monthly maximum aid payment) levels effective October 1, 2019.
Homeless Assistance
Families who are eligible for CalWORKs and who are homeless can apply for a special need payment to meet their costs for temporary and permanent housing.
The maximum Homeless Assistance payment is based on size of the CalWORKs family. Homeless Assistance is available once in a 12–month period unless the family is homeless due to domestic violence, natural disaster, uninhabitability, or a physical or mental disability. All exceptions must be verified by a third party agency.

The NCB program is a combination of 2 elements: a monthly federal allowance for each child in low-income families and additional provincial benefits and payments (health insurance, transportation benefits, social benefits and numerous budgetary grants for sports sections for children and etc.).
Achievement of the Welfare Social Benefit level, the so-called “Welfare Wall”.
The National Childhood Insurance system is closely linked to the taxation system, if the family income exceeds the allowable tax-free minimum, then this affects the amount of the child allowance issued and may threaten with the deprivation of some social benefits, such as compulsory health insurance, benefits for receiving free dental services, free medicines, etc. Thus, it turns out that families in which parents work in low-paid jobs may be lower or at the same material level as families receiving Welfare. To avoid this phenomenon, the Canadian government split the payment between NCB and Welfare. Now only working parents will have child benefits.
Federal Government Supplements to the National Childhood Insurance Program.
According to these additions, the Federal Government has the right to revise the amount of the monthly allowance for children in the direction of indexation, i.e. increase taking into account economic changes in the country. The increase in the amount of the allowance for children has been observed since 1998 .
