been verified in the Integrated Child Care Information System (ICCIS) and there will be a corresponding Financial Transaction Report (FTR) to match with the Request for Payment CC78 form.

Denied submissions are filed in the CCPO provider’s billing file with a copy of the Child Care Assistance Provider Request for Payment Denied Notice and/or the Child Care Assistance Provider Request for Payment Returned – Unpaid Notice, if issued prior to the denial, attached to the back of the form. All Request for Payment CC78 and Amended Request for Payment CC79 are to be filed at the CCPO with the Accounting team in the provider’s official request for payment file.

4390 CALCULATING AND VERIFYING CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PAYMENTS Payment is based on a comparison of the: unit of care authorized; actual attendance of the child; provider’s rates, as documented in the Integrated Child Care Information System (ICCIS) from the Child Care Provider Rates and Responsibilities CC12 form; the family’s co- payment and the Child Care Assistance Program Rate Schedule.

Payment is calculated using the state rate established in the Child Care Assistance Program Rate Schedule or the provider’s own rate, whichever is less. The payment amount verified will not exceed the monthly maximum dollar amount of the equivalent of a full month plus a part month, except in the case of a child in a shared custody arrangement where the maximum amount is the equivalent of a full month for each parent, or in the case of a child for who an Alaska Inclusive Child Care Program (Alaska IN!) authorization has been issued.

Payment will not be made to a provider for a month during which the child did not attend, except when the required written ten (10) business day notification of the family’s or provider’s intent to terminate care was given or the family ended care without notice to the provider, if the family’s co-pay exceeds their cost of care and the provider is requesting a registration fee, the registration fee up to $50 will be paid. The provider may also request payment and be paid by the program, at the part month rate, even when the written ten (10) business day notice requirement was not met by the family. The Child Care Program Office (CCPO) Accounting Staff are also to determine if an adjustment is needed due to an incorrect payment determination.
