Richland County Health and Human Services Birth to Three Program "Because a child's first three years build a lifetime...we support and empower families to enhance the potential of their child."

Parental Ability to Pay

The State made administrative rule changes in 1997, which permit counties to assess parents with an ability to pay for specific early intervention Birth to Three services. This ability to pay system is based on a State formula. Other funding may come from private insurance, Medical assistance, and/or other Birth to Three funds.
