ANNOUNCEMENT ELRC # 20-11: RESTORING CHILD CARE WORKS PAYMENT PRACTICES BASED ON ATTENDANCE AND INVOICING FOR ALL CHILDREN

Effective September 1, 2020, CCW payments will return to payment practices and policies based on attendance and invoicing for all children, regardless of when the child was enrolled with the provider.

Absences will be tracked and counted towards the 40 days of absences for all children.

Children’s enrollment after five days of consecutive absence will be suspended until the child returns to care.

All Adverse Action notices will be sent to families per policy. ELRCs will begin to send Adverse Action notices that have been held due to revised COVID-19 policy.

Dual enrollments, the practice implemented under COVID-19 to support both a closed provider and families who needed care will end. Children will be enrolled only with the provider where the child attends.

Collection of family co-pays will resume.

funding, the deadline is July 22, 2020.

 You do NOT need to submit a new form for July.  You should only submit one form to the ELRC in the region where your

program is located (regardless of which ELRC is paying for enrollments).
