Monthly Child Care Co-Payments

What are Co-Payments?

The DECCP provides parents/guardians in the Child Care Payment Program a child care certificate each month. The parents/guardians may also owe a co-payment that is paid directly to their CCPP-approved provider. The amount of the co-payments are based on the type of child care (full- or part-time) and the child’s age. 

How Co-Payments are Paid

Parents must pay their designated fee once a month to the child care provider in which their child(ren) is enrolled. 

How Co-Payment Fees are Calculated

Co-payments are based on the full-time and part-time status, and the child’s age. Fees are divided evenly between the number of children receiving services in the family.

For example: If the total co-payment is $10 for a family with three (3) children receiving child care services, two (2) children will have a co-payment of $3.33 and one (1) child will have a co-payment fee of $3.34.

Determining Who Pays a Co-Payment Fee

  1. No Co-Payment Fee
    • Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients
    • Homeless families with no countable income
    • Any family whose income is at or below the federal poverty line 
  2. Minimum Co-Payment Fee (For families with incomes above the federal poverty line and who meet the conditions in a-f below will have a co-payment fee that is no more than $10)
    • Transitional Child Care (TCC) recipients, 
    • Teen Parents, 
    • Children served by the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services (MDCPS), 
    • Children served by the Healthy Families Mississippi (HFM) home-visitation program, 
    • Parents with a disability who are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and 
    • Children with special needs. If there are other children in the family who are receiving child care services, the monthly co-payment fee shall be $10 or the child’s prorated share of the family’s co-payment fee, whichever is less. 

For all other parents, co-payment fees are calculated in CCPS based on family size and income by applying the CCDF Child Care Monthly Co-Payment Fee Scale for Parents.
