• Provider Agreement, DSS Form 37101 • Provider Rate Form, DSS Form 37107 • Copy of provider’s published child care rates (unless a Federal Head Start Program) • IRS Form W-9 • Copy of IRS Form SS-4 or IRS Letter 147-C – if operating under a federal identification number (FEIN) OR • Copy of the social security card if operating under an SSN. Print outs from the Social Security Administration will no longer be accepted. Other documents with the SSN will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for acceptance. • Copy of driver’s license or State ID, if operating under an SSN.
Upon receipt of the completed enrollment packet, the Child Care Scholarship Control Center staff take the following actions: • The information from the IRS Form W-9, IRS Letter 147-C, and/or IRS Form SS-4 is sent to Finance to be entered into the SCEIS (South Carolina Enterprise Information System) in order to obtain a vendor number. A confirmation of the SCEIS vendor number is sent via email to the Control Center staff. SCEIS uploads the vendor information to the Comptroller General’s (CG’s) Office. NOTE: The provider name, I.D, and SSN/FEIN must be identical in both the CG files and the Child Care Scholarship System in order for payments to be made to the provider. Once the provider information has been loaded and accepted in the CG’s files, the Control Center enters the provider information into the Child Care Scholarship Program database. At this point, the provider is eligible to begin serving children. After an established period of time (usually within 30 days) the provider paperwork is prepped and sent for imaging.
