Income Verification (For Pre-Kindergarten Parents Only)
Please read carefully: It is a requirement of the Columbus City Schools Early Childhood Education Program that each family submits their income information at the time of enrollment. We are a grant-funded program and are required to have income information for each family in our program.
For the purposes of determining family income, a family is determined as:
The income of the family includes gross earned and unearned income. Families are required to submit the two most recent pay stubs for each working adult in the home, showing the amount earned before taxes. Families may also submit their tax return showing their income before adjustments.
If one or more family members are self-employed, a copy of the tax return or receipts for the month showing gross earnings is required.
Types of Unearned Income:
ALL families receiving SNAP, please submit documentation of the amount you receive each month at the time of enrollment
If your family lives in CMHA/CPO housing, please submit a copy of your lease
ALL sources of income must be submitted at the time of enrollment
If you still have additional questions, please call Central Enrollment at (614) 365-4011, or contact the FACTLine at 614-221-3228 or FACTLine@columbus.k12.oh.us
