What if the family cannot pay the enrollment fee?
If a family is unable to pay the full fee because of undue hardship, the family may ask for reconsideration. Undue hardship means, for example, the family now has either less income due to unemployment or change in job; or, unavoidable expenses that reduce the ability to pay. The county may then reduce or waive the fee. The family may formally appeal a county’s decision and should ask the county how to file and appeal under CCS regulations.
