5.4.3 RECOUPMENT OF GRANT FUNDING If a recoupment has been initiated against the provider perhaps because of an audit, overpayment, or if the provider owes money to the Government due to an IRS lien, and funds are being recouped from the provider through their payments, then the provider will not be eligible for any grants offered at that time due to the fact that the Child Care Scholarship Program will automatically take the grant money in payment towards the recoupment or lien. NOTE: Recoupment of grant funds is not appealable.

5.5 CHILD CARE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM PARENT, CARETAKER, OR GUARDIAN WHO OWNS A CHILD CARE PROGRAM A Child Care Scholarship Program parent, caretaker or guardian, to include a foster parent, who owns a licensed or registered FCCH, licensed GCCH, or center, will not receive child care assistance to provide child care for their own child, a child in their custody, or a foster child. 5.6 LICENSING/REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS State regulatory requirements mandate that CCCs and GCCHs be licensed and that FCCHs be licensed or registered. A CCC or GCCH owned and operated by a local church congregation or established religious denomination or religious college/university must be licensed in order to receive federal or State funds if the program operates more than four hours per day. The SCDSS Child Care Licensing (CCL) should be contacted to report a possible violation of the law any time staff believe a provider is exceeding their licensed capacity and serving more children than allowed under State regulatory law.
