Effingham County Childcare Scholarship Program Mission: To provide support for families to enable them to work or to gain qualifications to work. Purpose: The Effingham County Childcare Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to families who, due to income level, do not qualify for the Illinois Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), but yet are unable to afford childcare. The intent is to support those families that are financially strained due to childcare costs that result in workers leaving the work force or being unable to accept employment. Assistance will be determined through a qualification process based on need and funding. Eligibility: Applicants must be seeking childcare services from a licensed childcare provider in Effingham County. Eligibility for assistance is based on the criteria outlined within this document. CCAP maximum monthly income is currently set at 225% of federal poverty guidelines. It is the intention that the Gap Scholarship maximum monthly income range always be an additional 25% above CCAP (for example, 225%-250%) and will adjust as CCAP adjusts. Family participation in the scholarship program is limited to a 2-year maximum term with annual renewals required based on continued eligibility and sufficient scholarship funding. A 3-month notice will be given to families if benefits are being terminated for cause if other than 1- and 2-year renewals. Families are to self-declare if changes in income would occur before the next eligibility renewal determination. A job loss or break in activity must be reported within 30 days in order to remain part of the Effingham County Childcare Scholarship Program. Financial Assistance: Applications will be accepted during an established time period (approx. 30 days) and once closed, recipients will be chosen based on a prioritized need, as long as funds are available within the “Effingham County Childcare Scholarship Fund.” Eligible and approved families will receive financial assistance to aid with childcare expenses. Scholarship funds will be sent directly to licensed childcare provider to be credited to each families’ outstanding balance. Any remaining balance will be due to the childcare provider by the family as agreed. Qualifying for financial assistance does not guarantee funds will be available to fund outstanding balances or services. A waitlist of eligible, interested families will be maintained.
