OAR 461-160-0300
Use of Income to Determine Eligibility and Benefits for ERDC


The Department determines financial eligibility for ERDC and the benefit level as follows:

(1)

The monthly gross income of the financial group (see OAR 461-110-0530 (Financial Group)) is determined in accordance with OAR 461-150-0060 (Prospective or Retrospective Eligibility and Budgeting; ERDC, REF, REFM, SNAP, TANF).

(2)

The monthly gross income at initial certification and recertification is compared to the ERDC eligibility standards in OAR 461-155-0150 (Child Care Eligibility Standard, Payment Rates, and Copayments)(5). If monthly income equals or exceeds the eligibility standards, the need group is ineligible for ERDC. If monthly income does not exceed the eligibility standard, the client’s eligibility is determined under section (3) of this rule.

(3)

For a client found eligible under section (2) of this rule, the allowable child care cost and the client’s copay are determined as follows:

(a)

The child care costs for which the client has been billed are compared to the amount provided in the appropriate child care chart in OAR 461-155-0150 (Child Care Eligibility Standard, Payment Rates, and Copayments). The allowable child care cost is the lesser of the two amounts.

(b)

The need group’s copay is determined in accordance with OAR 461-155-0150 (Child Care Eligibility Standard, Payment Rates, and Copayments).

(4)

The copay is subtracted from the allowable child care cost, and the remainder is the payment the Department makes to the provider. If the copay is equal to or greater than the allowable child care cost, the client is not eligible for ERDC. If the copay is less than the allowable child care cost, the client meets the income requirement for ERDC.
