The amount of assistance is determined by family size and household income. Applicants can receive 20-80% assistance for the “Beyond the Classroom” and “Summer My Way” programs. The source of these funds are the Center’s strategic business partners, donations , and other mission based revenue. Anyone interested in using the sliding fee scale may pick up an application at the Front Desk of The Center.  \nSLIDING FEE SCALE PROCEDURE  \nThis is a very confidential process where only the Sliding Fee Scale administrator looks at the submitted information.  \n􀁸 ALL APPLICANTONS must be completed and returned to The Center with a copy of your head of household’s most recent tax return on the first of June. Recipients must reapply every 12 months for assistance.  \n􀁸 If you did not file a tax return for the prior year you must go to the IRS website and file form 1040-EZ. Applications for a sliding scale discount will not be accepted without the required documentation.  \no For information regarding how to file a 1040-EZ go to:  \n[https://www.irs.gov/uac/about-form-1040ez](https://www.irs.gov/uac/about-form-1040ez)  \n􀁸 ASSISTANCE will be granted on the basis of financial need based on household size and total household gross income. Our subsidy guide chart will be used to determine initial eligibility. Depending upon gross monthly income or gross annual income and the number of household members, The Center can offer 20% to 80% off “Beyond the Classroom” and “Summer My Way” program fees. In some instances, an interview will be required prior to the approval of this application. The Center reserves the right to refuse assistance to any applicant.  \n􀁸 ONCE APPROVED, arrangements will be made for you to pay your share of the program fees in weekly or monthly installments paid at The Center’s front desk.  \n􀁸 PLEASE ALLOW at least 3 to 5 working days for your sliding fee scale application to be processed by the Center to determine eligibility. You will be contacted in writing by The Center’s sliding fee administrator.  \n􀁸 Applicants who re-apply in subsequent years are encouraged to write a brief letter explaining how they or their children benefited from their previous Center involvement and attach it to their application.  \n􀁸 We encourage all of our members to volunteer. If funds are limited, applicants who write letters and/or volunteer at The Center during the previous year will be given priority when they re-apply.  \n􀁸 All recipients that are awarded the sliding fee scale are required to volunteer at The Center. Exact volunteer requirements will be clarified within your award letter.  \nSubsidy Chart for “Beyond the Classroom” & “Summer My Way”  \n\n| The Center Sliding Scale |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Household \\# | 80% | 70% | 60% | 50% | 40% | 30% | 25% | 20% |\n| 1 | $12,060 | $13,628 | $14,854 | $16,191 | $17,810 | $19,413 | $20,384 | $21,403 |\n| 2 | $16,240 | $18,351 | $20,003 | $21,803 | $23,983 | $26,142 | $27,449 | $28,821 |\n| 3 | $20,420 | $23,075 | $25,151 | $27,415 | $30,156 | $32,871 | $34,514 | $36,240 |\n| 4 | $24,600 | $27,798 | $30,300 | $33,027 | $36,329 | $39,599 | $41,579 | $43,658 |\n| 5 | $28,780 | $32,521 | $35,448 | $38,639 | $42,503 | $46,328 | $48,644 | $51,076 |\n| 6 | $32,960 | $37,245 | $40,597 | $44,251 | $48,676 | $53,056 | $55,709 | $58,495 |\n| 7 | $37,140 | $41,968 | $45,745 | $49,862 | $54,849 | $59,785 | $62,774 | $65,913 |\n| 8 | $41,320 | $46,692 | $50,894 | $55,474 | $61,022 | $66,514 | $69,839 | $73,331 |\n| per addt'l person | $4,200 | $4,746 | $5,173 | $5,639 | $6,203 | $6,761 | $7,099 | $7,454 |\n\nSliding Fee Scale Applicat","cbCairNtRMxIr2TV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairNtRMxIr2TV","pdf",2882942,"English","# Sliding Fee Scale Policy\n## Eligibility and Assistance Levels\n# Sliding Fee Scale Procedure\n## Application Requirements\n## Approval, Payment, and Reapplication\n# Subsidy Chart\n## Beyond the Classroom and Summer My Way\n# Sliding Fee Scale Application Form\n## Applicant/Guardian Information\n## Confidentiality and Attestation\n## Verification of Employment/Loss of Income","[{\"question\":\"How does the center decide the sliding fee assistance amount?\",\"answer\":\"Assistance is determined by family size and household income, using the subsidy chart and a subsidy guide to set initial eligibility.\"},{\"question\":\"What documents are required to submit a sliding fee scale application?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants must return a completed application by the first of June with a copy of the head of household’s most recent tax return; if no prior-year tax return was filed, Form 1040-EZ documentation is required.\"},{\"question\":\"How long does approval take and how are recipients contacted?\",\"answer\":\"The center requires at least 3 to 5 working days to process the application to determine eligibility, and recipients are contacted in writing by the sliding fee administrator.\"}]","Sliding Fee Scale - Application and Procedure | PDF",1789503511]
