Fees

Fees are set according to Department of Defense (DoD) policy. Fees may be higher in Hawaii than your previous post. USAG-HI must pay staff a 25% Cost of Living Allowance and has higher supply costs associated with the cost of living in Hawaii. Fees are based on total family income (TFI) in a sliding scale per DoD policy.

Discounts
A multiple child reduction (MCR) discount will be given in all CYSS programs, except instructional classes (not including Gymnastic Classes) and Family Child Care homes not subsidized for fee equity. The MCR discount is given to all children after the first, will be at least 10%, but not more than 20%, and must be applied to the least expensive type(s) of care.

Team Sports Multiple Child Reduction (TSMCR) Discount

This will be given to a family with multiple children (after the first) participating in the same team sport (i.e., the first child pays the full fee, remaining children receive 15% discount).

Parent Participation Discount (PPD) and Youth Volunteer Discount (YVD)

Any such reduction must be based on specific criteria, approved by the Installation Commander.

Coaches Discounts
This discount is paid at the end of the season and does not apply to the uniform cost (i.e., the cost of the program is $50 of which $15 is the cost of the uniform, the $50 is paid up front and at the end of the season the coach receives a check for $35).

Hardship Cases
Patrons facing long or short term financial difficulties that effect their ability to meet established child care fees or payment schedules may request evaluation as a hardship case in writing. Such cases must be evaluated by a community financial planning services (such as Army Community Service). Hardship provisions recommended by financial services may include deferred payment schedule, permanently or temporarily reduced fees, or payment after-the-fact. Families needing assistance with fees may request an exception to policy with a written request and supporting documentation through the soldier’s chain of command to the program director. The program director will then pass it through the chain of command for a decision by the Post Commander.

Tax Receipts
Tax receipts are provided at the end of the year.
