Partly as a result, only a fraction of families — about 10 percent — who are eligible under the federal recommendation actually get subsidies, according to the Center for Law and Social Policy. The variance in state policies means a family may qualify for child care assistance in one state, but not in another. In Ohio in 2023, for example, a family of three had to make less than $36,048 to get a voucher, while in Arkansas the cutoff that year was set about $17,000 higher — at $53,161.
