441 (07/2026) Chapter 2:Eligibility • Section 6: Non-financial eligibility • Begins providing child care services after June 30, 2010, or • Resumes providing services after a break of a year or more after June 30, 2010. A provider who is in “Failed” status because they did not attend an ERDC orientation will not be paid for child care provided while in failed status – except for any billing forms already issued to the provider. Billing forms will stop being sent to the provider until the month in which the orientation is completed. Past billing forms during the time the provider was failed will not be issued. Basic Child Care Health and Safety training and Introduction to Child Care Health and Safety License exempt providers and registered family child care providers registered with the CCLD must complete the Basic Child Care Health and Safety online training or have taken the Oregon Kids Healthy and Safe (OKHS) three- hour training. This training must be completed before the ERDC child care provider can be approved and listed as a provider with DPU. More information about this training can be found at https://www.oregon.gov/delc/programs/ Pages/erdc-training.aspx. Providers who are already approved and listed as an ERDC provider as of April 1, 2014 and are licensed exempt or registered with CCLD must take the training at their next reevaluation. Providers who have taken the OKHS anytime in the past are considered to have met this requirement. All providers who were required to take the Basic Child Care Health and Safety training or Oregon Kids Healthy and Safe (OKHS) must take the Introduction to Child Care Health and Safety training. This is due to new federal requirements. Introduction to Child Care Health and Safety is available online. All providers becoming approved starting November will be required to take the training before sending in their Child Care Provider Listing Form (7494) Instructions. All license-exempt and registered child care providers already approved as an ERDC provider must take this training by July 31, 2017. There are no exemptions for this training and OKHS does not replace taking the new training. More information can be found at Oregon Kids: Healthy and Safe.
