Instructions:

1. Gross Income (GI) eligibility limit is at 85% of State Median Income (SMI).

2. Compare GI with Income Eligibility Limit to determine income eligibility.

3. If GI is less than or equal to the Income Eligibility Limit, find the largest reimbursement rate for which the income limit is greater than or equal to GI.

The percentage of the DHS maximum rate allowed yields the actual payment amount that the department will issue to the family per child. A family unit's co-payment is conversely related to the percentage of the department's maximum rate allowed.
