About the amount
Coverage is a percentage of eligible costs at established fees, tiered by adjusted family net income. Not a cash payment.
What to know
Applications for the 2026-2027 benefit period are open. Coverage renews annually, if you miss the renewal date you can re-apply, but you will have a gap in coverage. The CDCP will never ask you to pay to apply or renew; treat any such request as a scam.
Documents you'll likely need
- Your filed tax return for the relevant year
- Confirmation you have no access to private dental insurance
