12.1 Paid Facility Closures
OSSE will pay child care providers participating in the Child Care Subsidy Program for all days that their facilities are open and providing services, regardless of children’s attendance in care. In addition, OSSE will issue payment for days that facilities are closed, under the circumstances listed below. Child care providers are required to maintain a record of all planned and unplanned closure days and all communications to families related to closure days if they were not part of the schedule at the beginning of the program year. Licensed child development facilities must follow all procedures for reporting planned and unplanned closures established in OSSE’s child development facility licensing regulations (5A DCMR 100).
