must apply and be determined eligible for the Alaska IN! Program in order for their provider to receive supplemental funding.

4370-3 PROVIDER CHARGES Providers must submit a Child Care Provider Rates and Responsibilities CC12 form listing their current rates as part of their application to participate in the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). Only Licensed providers may include a registration fee. If the provider’s rates change see section 4300-1 B. Rates.

4370-4 REGISTRATION FEES AND FAMILY CONTRIBUTION Registration fees charged by providers can only be paid by the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) to a Licensed provider. A request for payment of a registration fee of up to $50.00 can be submitted and processed for payment one time per calendar year per child at that facility. A registration fee will not be paid in a month in which the child did not attend at least one (1) day.

If the child attends more than one Licensed facility, each facility can receive payment for the registration fee for the child in a calendar year.

The parent is responsible to pay their provider their family’s monthly contribution (co-pay). Families are also responsible to pay their provider any difference in the provider’s charges for services and the amount paid through the CCAP. See section 4150-3 Non-Payment to Provider.

For example: A family’s co-pay is $50.00. Their provider charges $1000.00 per month. The state rate for this family’s child is $850.00 per month. The family owes the facility $200.00 total. This is $50.00 for the co-pay and $150.00 which is the difference between what the state pays and the provider charges.

In instances where, based on the care authorized and the child’s attendance, the family’s co-pay is more than the actual cost of care to be paid; payment will not be made, and the family is responsible for the cost of their care. In these instances, if the provider is requesting payment for a registration fee, it will be processed for payment as the child did attend.
