DIVISION OF WELFARE AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES Child Care Policy Manual 841 Reimbursement For each eligible child, the Delegate Agency’s slots will be paid at the state approved rate, using the current Child Care Subsidy Reimbursement Rates for the Delegate Agency provider type (e.g., OST/OSR or Wraparound provider). For children ages six (6) years through 12 years or children with special needs ages 13 years through 19 years, full-time attendance is justified when attendance records validate at least three (3) hours of attendance in a calendar day during the billing month. For children younger than six (6) years, full-time attendance is justified when attendance records validate at least four (4) hours and 30 minutes of attendance in a calendar day during the billing month. Attendance less than a full-time day will be paid at the approved part-time rate. Delegate Agencies must be allowed flexibility in determining the amount of funds needed monthly. The funds must be requested monthly, but the amount billed depends on the needs of the agency. Delegate Agencies cannot request funds that will exceed the approved yearly MOA or contract amount unless special consideration is approved by the DWSS Agency Manager. Upon approval from DWSS/CCDP, payment shall be made directly to Delegate Agency by their designated CCR&R agency within 30 business days of receipt of attendance billings. 850 AUDITS A Contracted Slot and/or Wraparound case may be selected for audit to review the accuracy of subsidy benefits paid or authorized. The Delegate Agency’s case files and attendance logs may be requested and compared to the EAVs submitted by the Delegate Agency. The Delegate Agency is required to cooperate with the review process. Refer to MS 152 regarding cooperation requirements. 800- Delegate Agencies [7] MTL 01/24 July 1,2024
