Summary
Since the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Department has not charged copays for Delaware Families earning up to 200% of the federal poverty level and has reimbursed purchase of care providers for 15 absent days per child per month. These practices have been successful in stabilizing families and providing early learning programs for Delaware's needy families and children.
