BUFFALO, NY-- The Erie County Department of Social Services announced Monday that as a result of increased funding for child care, eligibility levels for the low income subsidy program will be increased from 125% to 175%.
Under the new eligibility requirements, a family of three could earn up to $3,051.66 per month in order to qualify for child care services. The increase goes into effect on August 23, 2010.
Erie County Social Services Commissioner Carol Dankert says, "While our allocation was delayed by the elongated state budget process, the increase in funding for this critcal service allows us to support families who are working towards independence."
