Heartland logoIncome Eligibility


Child care providers receive meal reimbursement based on a two-tier reimbursement system based on economic need.

Tier I reimbursement is applied when:
  1. Providers live in areas of eligibility based on elementary school and/or census data (scroll down for listing of eligible schools), or
  2. Providers whose household income is at or below 185% poverty.

Reimbursement Rates
July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2009
Tier I Tier II
Breakfast 1.17 0.43
Lunch/Supper 2.18 1.31
Snack 0.65 0.18
Providers whose household income is at or below 185% poverty may receive reimbursement for meals and snacks served to daycare children and their own children. (See income guidelines below.)

Tier II reimbursement is applied to:
  1. All other providers. However, they may request to collect income application information from their families who have children enrolled in the home to determine if there are any children whose meals could be reimbursed at the Tier I level. It is possible for a Tier II provider to receive Tier I reimbursement for some children and Tier II reimbursement for others.
