1260 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples Child care copays Individual program example(s) ERDC Requirement for caretaker to pay ERDC copay Example 1: Julie reapplies for ERDC on Aug. 15 but has an unmet copay from the prior certification period. On Sept. 5, the worker receives verification that the copay was met on Aug. 25. If all other eligibility factors are met for August, the case would be reopened effective Aug. 1. Example 2: Dominika is renewing her ERDC in October. When running eligibility, the worker determines that Dominika has an unmet copay on her case from the current certification. The worker lets Dominika know that she will need to pay the copay or make satisfactory arrangements with the provider, or her ERDC renewal will be denied for an unmet copay. Child care provider requirements Individual program example(s) ERDC Example 1: A provider failed in December completes the Orientation on Feb. 15. If participant and provider are otherwise eligible, provider can be paid for the month of February – effective Feb. 15 – (and forward). Billing forms will not be issued for January while the provider was in failed status. A provider is failed in February because they did not meet the requirement to attend the orientation. Billing forms issued for February will be paid (if participant and provider are otherwise eligible). If the child care provider completes the orientation in March, billing forms will be issued for March and can be paid effective from the date the provider completed the orientation (and is in approved status). Child care payment process Individual program example(s) ERDC Example 1: Administrative errors: ODHS|OHA received pay stubs on Aug. 24 showing an increase in hours and income, but the action in ONE to increase the authorized child care hours was not taken timely. The September billing form can be canceled and reissued with higher authorized hours due to the administrative error.
