Child Care Assistance Program Policy Manual Issued 07/2023 Payments to providers 9.3 Once a provider’s registration is closed or denied under clause four, it remains inactive until DHS Licensing confirms the provider’s suspension, revocation, or decertification has been reversed. If the Licensing decision is reversed, the provider must complete a new registration to receive CCAP again. Assuming all other registration requirements are met, the new registration cannot start before the date the provider’s license or certification status is Active AND no longer “Subject to or Under Appeal.” Clauses Three, Five, Six, and Seven For clauses 3, 5, 6, and 7, the CCAP agency may withhold a provider’s authorization or payment for a period of time not to exceed three months beyond the time that the condition has been corrected. The CCAP agency must describe in their County and Tribal Child Care Fund Plan how the provider is able to correct the condition. Once a provider’s registration closes or is denied, the provider must serve the penalty period and complete a new registration to receive CCAP again. Assuming all other registration requirements are met, the new registration cannot start before the date the provider corrects the condition and serves their penalty period (if applicable). Employee/employer relationship Receipt of federal, state or local funds by a child care provider either directly or through a child care assistance recipient does NOT establish an employee-employer relationship between the provider and the county or state.
