The State of Illinois helps income eligible families pay for their child care services while they work or go to school, training and other work-
related activities. To apply please read the following pages carefully and then submit your completed application to your local Child Care
Resource and Referral (CCR&R) or child care center/home if they have a contract with IDHS to provide child care assistance. If you have
any questions about your eligibility or if you need help completing this form, call your local CCR&R. To find your local CCR&R go to http://
www.inccra.org/find-your-local-ccrr-other or call 1-877-202-4453 (toll-free).
Please be sure that all the information is complete before sending in your application:

with anyone.

Children can get assistance regardless of their immigration status, but IDHS is required to ask for this information. This information
will not be shared with anyone. Your child's alien registration number must be listed if they have one.
* All persons other than the applicant and the second parent living in the household are listed in section 3 (page 6).
* If working, at least one of the following is attached to verify your employment and the employment of everyone listed in your family
