Beginning July 1, 2024, the Wisconsin Shares program is increasing the income limits, which means more families may be eligible for child care assistance. The Wisconsin Shares child care subsidy program invests in eligible working families to help make quality child care more accessible and affordable. How? By covering a portion of their monthly child care costs. The table below will give you an idea of whether you may be financially eligible. You can also answer some simple questions using the ACCESS website to see which programs you may be eligible for before you apply. If you aren't sure if your monthly income is under the 200% Federal Poverty Level (FPL), reach out to your local agency for assistance. Apply starting in July!
