I guess i need to call my Dhr and see where our county stands. I fear my county will lose a lot of foster parents if we have to start paying childcare. We have very few sahm. And really can't afford to lose homes-most of our homes are full now.

It seems to read that if your family gross income is above 150% of the federal poverty level you won't qualify. I don't know what that means. It does say that the parental fee is increasing by $3 a week per child anyway. Did you get this letter too? It's dated October 9.
