This report is the first book of tables to be produced from the CCDF Policies Database. It presents key aspects of the differences in CCDF-funded programs across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories and outlying areas, as of October 1, 2009. The Book of Tables highlights policy variations across five general areas of policy: eligibility requirements for families and children; family application, terms of authorization, and redetermination; family payments; policies for providers, including maximum reimbursement rates; and overall administrative and quality information.
Note that updated tables are maintained at Child Care and Early Education Research Connections, reflecting any corrections made to the database after the release of this report.
