Are you currently receiving School Readiness financial assistance and concerned that your increased income may make you ineligible?
A pay raise should be a cause for celebration, not panic over losing your childcare. We know earning more can sometimes push your household income above the standard program limits. But please, do not skip your redetermination!
The state-funded School Readiness Plus (SR Plus) program is designed to assist families currently receiving School Readiness Services whose income is above 85% of the State Median Income (SMI) but below 100% SMI.
This gradual adjustment lets you accept a promotion and grow your career without losing your subsidy overnight.
