Question
How much of the Child Care and Development Fund can be spent on Administrative Costs?
Answer
States may use a portion of CCDF funds to perform administrative tasks and responsibilities associated with providing child care assistance to eligible families. These ‘administrative costs’ are capped at 5 percent of the total CCDF (excluding MOE). The cap is based on the total aggregate funds expended by the Lead Agency from each fiscal year’s allotment.
