Alright! You may be eligible for Wisconsin Shares benefits. 

To be eligible for Wisconsin Shares benefits, your income must initially be at or below 185% Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Families may continue to be eligible up to 200% FPL. The parent's copayment will be from 2%-12% of family gross income depending on family income, family size, number of children in subsidized care, and type of childcare services selected.
*Income eligibility requirements are different for foster parents, kinship relatives, and subsidized guardians.
