Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) is a federally funded subsidy program administered by state human services departments that helps low-income families pay for child care. Eligible recipients include families with children who are U.S. citizens or legal residents under age 13 (up to 18 for children with disabilities).
Families must meet state-specific income thresholds and demonstrate a need for care related to work, education, or job training. Benefit amounts vary by state, family size, and income level. Single mothers and working families who exceed the income limit for other public assistance programs are common applicants.
Requirements differ by state.
