The Child Care Assistance Authorization document will have an issued date of May 14 at the top. The provider must submit their Request for Payment CC78 for the months of March, April, and May no later than the last day of June.

3. Canceled and Reissued Authorizations When a timely issued Child Care Assistance Authorization document is canceled and re-issued, the months authorized in the canceled document continue to be considered timely and the Request for Payment CC78 must be received by the last day of the month following the service month.

Months included in the re-issued Child Care Assistance Authorization document which were not previously included, may be considered untimely based on the date in which the Child Care Assistance Authorization document is issued. An extension of submission timeframe only applies to those months in which the Child Care Assistance Authorization document was not issued timely.

When the last day of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or State or Federal holiday and a Request for Payment CC78 is retrieved from a drop box, it is date stamped as received with Friday’s date or the most recent business day and the submission is considered to have been received timely.

4380-3 REQUEST FOR PAYMENT SUBMISSION EVALUATION Providers may utilize the stand-alone Request for Payment CC78 form or the Request For Payment CC78 form included in the Child Care Grant Program (CCG) and Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) combined Excel workbook. There are slight differences in how the information is documented by the provider depending on which form is used.

The Child Care Program Office (CCPO) evaluates and verifies all provider’s Request for Payment CC78 forms thereby ensuring the same person verifying payment is not the same individual who created the Child Care Assistance Authorization document for the families included on the form.
