Funding for POC comes from federal and state sources, which help low-income families pay for their child care so that parents or guardians can work or receive workforce training. As indicated in the pie chart, Delaware’s POC funding comes almost equally from federal and state sources. The Delaware Division of Social Services (DSS) is responsible for setting the standards and distributing the benefit to Delawareans.
