Child care subsidies available Delegates Barbara Frush, Joseline Peña-Melnyk, Ben Barnes, and I were proud to support legislation this year to help with child care expenses in Maryland. The Maryland State Department of Education recently announced annual income limits for Maryland’s Child Care Subsidy (CCS) Program will increase dramatically. For a family of four, for example, that means a leap from $35,702 to $71,525. This translates to 65% of the State Median Income level.
