A family must meet both financial and non-financial criteria set forth in 55 Pa. Code, Chapter 3041 (relating to subsidized child care eligibility) in order to be eligible for the subsidized child care program.  \nAs set forth in § 3041.3 (relating to definitions), self-employment is defined as,“operating one’s own business, trade or profession for profit equal to or greater than the hourly Pennsylvania minimum wage.”  \nThe United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) goes on to state:  \nA parent/caretaker (p/c) is considered self-employed if the p/c:  \n• Operates a trade or business as a sole proprietor;  \n• Is a member of a partnership or limited liability company that files a Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership, that operates a trade or business; or  \n• Is otherwise in business for himself.  \n• Has a part-time business in addition to other employment.  \nCCIS staff must be able to identify self-employment as well as differentiate between the separate types of self-employment.  \nA Federal Income Tax Return must show profit from self-employment that when divided by the Pennsylvania minimum wage is equal to or greater than the required number of work hours. Any profit from a p/c’s self-employment is added to the family’s gross income to determine financial eligibility for the subsidized child care program. Each p/c must also meet the work-hour requirement, which means the p/c works at least 20 hours per week, or works a minimum of 10 hours per week and participates in training for a minimum of 10 hours per week, unless the p/c is a teen parent. Need for care is based on the p/c’s work and/or training hours, including travel time.  \nFor self-employed foster parents, the foster parent’s self-employment income is not included in the eligibility determination. However, a self-employed foster parent must still meet the definition of self-employment as set forth in § 3041.3 (relating to definitions) . This means in order to be eligible, a self-employed foster parent must show profit from self-employment that when divided by ","cbCaifnKNZFjvPAS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifnKNZFjvPAS","pdf",235816,31,"English","# 405.1 GENERAL POLICY & REGULATION\n# 405.2 DEFINITIONS & ACRONYMS\n# 405.3 GOALS & OBJECTIVES\n# 405.4 IDENTIFYING SELF-EMPLOYMENT\n# 405.5 VERIFICATION OF SELF-EMPLOYMENT INCOME\n# 405.6 CALCULATING SELF-EMPLOYMENT INCOME\n# 405.7 WORK & CARE HOURS FOR THE SELF-EMPLOYED\n# 405.8 P/C RESPONSIBILITIES\n# 405.9 CCIS RESPONSIBILITIES\n# 405.10 PELICAN CCW\n# 405.11 UPDATED INFORMATION & ADDITIONAL RESOURCES\n# 405.12 TRAINING GUIDE","[{\"question\":\"What criteria must a family meet to be eligible for subsidized child care when a parent/caretaker is self-employed?\",\"answer\":\"The family must meet both financial and non-financial criteria defined in 55 Pa.
