CC78 or Amended Request for Payment CC79.

When Alaska IN! is authorized and the child attends it will be included in the calculation for payment. Most often the Alaska IN! is authorized after the initial Child Care Assistance Authorization document has been issued resulting a revised document. When a child care provider has requested payment and been paid for a month which is later authorized for Alaska IN!, the Child Care Program Office (CCPO) will submit a Supplemental Payment Request CC06 to the CCPO Accounting Staff for the Alaska IN! payment for previous months. Alaska IN! payments for future months will be included on the Child Care Assistance Authorization document and processed for payment with the provider’s Request for Payment CC78 or Amended Request for Payment CC79. Alaska IN! supplemental payments are not made for any month the child did not attend, even if payment is made during that month for the ten (10) business day notification timeframe. The State Payment amount listed on the Child Care Assistance Authorization document already has the family’s contribution (co- pay) deducted. The Alaska IN! supplemental percentage amount is based on the actual cost incurred by the provider to provide additional services, divided by the number of months in the family’s certification period and converted to a percentage based on the cost of the unit(s) of care authorized.

If the payment to the provider is adjusted to a lesser amount than authorized based on the child’s actual attendance, the Alaska IN! payment remains the applicable percentage of the unit of care authorized for that month.

The Alaska IN! supplemental amount is entered in the supplemental line after using any remaining “Amount to Pay.”

2. Ten (10) Business Day Notice and Child Not in Attendance Any days, not to exceed the allowable ten (10) days, included in the provider’s Request for Payment CC78 or Amended Request for Payment CC79 in the Notice Days “N” box indicating the childwas not in attendance, are to be included in the calculations, whether or not the required ten (10) business day notice was given. In a month the child did not attend that includes up to ten (10) days of the required notice timeframe, and the provider includes the days in the “N” box, payment will be made at the part month rate.
