What income do I report when applying or recertifying for child care?

You should report the gross monthly income before deductions for all working family members. Wages or salaries, commissions, tips, piece-rate payment and cash bonuses earned must be reported. Overtime pay is estimated based on the person’s history of receiving this pay. If you have more than one job, make sure to report gross income from each of your employers. Other income that must be reported includes SSDI, alimony, taxable capital gains, rent income, income from estates, pensions, annuities, and retirement income. Ask a child care representative about any regular income you receive to see if it must be included in your gross monthly income.
