Not sure if this then varies from state-to-state, but our worker made us list everything the child needs (outside of food, clothing, shelter etc.) and that was what was applied for. We were told that subsidies start at $0 and you have to prove the needs of the child in order to get for that only. We were told that our financial position has no bearing on getting further subsidy. Yes, it was my choice to stay home with the children as we would not be able to afford the daycare...utilities go up when you are now home all day etc. The childrens special needs have not changed, but again the subsidy was determined strictly based on their special needs at the time of negotiation.
