Delaware Tribe of Indians COVID-19 Childcare Credit Program Application Now Available

The Delaware Tribe of Indians received funds from the CARES Act. The funds are authorized as a General Welfare Exclusion (GWE) program and were adopted via motion by the Tribal Council on June 19, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light the lack of safe, reliable, and affordable childcare options for the citizens of Delaware. In many cases it caused a closure of facilities and at-home childcare providers. This plagued long waitlists for those that stayed open, ballooned costs, and safety concerns. Therefore, Tribal Council has made a Childcare Credit Program available to qualified tribal members in the amount of $3,000 per child that was between the ages of 0-5 years old as of March 27, 2020.

This application must be fully completed to be accepted. The program will be administered on a first-come, first-serve basis until funding is available. Payments will be processed approximately 30 days after verification of an approved application. Applications must be received by the Tribe on or before Friday, October 31, 2021.

SUBMIT APPLICATION BY MAIL ONLY TO:
