3. Sick Days for School Aged Child Any days a child is in care due to being too sick to attend school are to be included in the “SI” box. The Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) will pay for up to five (5) full days for a child who usually attends school. Sick days are added as full days in addition to the full month or part month calculation. The amount is entered on the Request for Payment (CC78) or Amended Request for Payment (CC79) in the blank labeled FT Day Unit +. Sick days in addition to the care authorized are not payable for children younger than school-aged.

4. Full Days Plus Part Days Attended on Same Day If a child is in care with the provider for more than ten (10) hours in a day, those are days are entered in the FP box. Each of the days entered in the FP box count as both a full day and a part day; for example, if ten (10) is entered in the FP box, ten (10) days are counted as full days and ten (10) days are counted as part days for a total of twenty (20) days.

5. Registration Fee A registration fee is payable to licensed child care providers only. A registration fee will not be paid during a month in which a child did not attend, even if payment is made for the required ten (10) business day notice.

A registration fee is payable during a month the child did attend; however payment is not made for the care provided due to the family’s co-pay exceeding the actual cost of their care authorized.

6. Adjustment for an Incorrect Payment Determination When an under payment has been established, the additional payment is to occur during the payment verification process. See sections 4410-2 B. Underpayment of Family Benefits and 4410-2 C. Underpayment to a Provider.

7. Capping Payment When full days or part days are authorized in addition to a full month, the additional days attended are paid at the lesser of the provider’s or State’s daily rate for the type of provider and age of child. When the dollar amount of the payment for the number of additional full days or part days is more than the dollar amount of the provider’s or State’s part month rate, the payment is capped at the lesser part month rate.
