The Department will now pay child care providers directly and filed proposed rule changes to accomplish that on 05/15/2015. The Department has since learned computer programing will not be ready to support the requirement that providers certify attendance each month so that requirement has been taken out for the time being. It is anticipated this will be added in the near future and the rule will be changed again. The provider is still required to notify the Department of changes within ten days. Also, a couple of changes are nonsubstantive and a 12-month time limit for repayment of any overpayment is added.
