If the Level of Care on the certificate is hourly (HR) and the billing form reflects either full time (FT) or part-time (PT) hours, payment for the month billed is paid at HR.

 

When the Level of Care determined from the billing report form does not match the Level of Care on the certificate, the payment is made based on the Level of Care on the certificate.

Note: When this occurs, the worker will follow the policy and procedures in Section 400-28-125-15, Known Information To Agency.

Compare the billed amount to the State Rate on the certificate to determine the lower amount. Take the lowest amount and subtract the Family Monthly Co-pay to determine the amount to be paid by the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP).

 

If the child's hours in care do not reflect the hours needed for the caretaker’s allowable activities, the eligibility worker may adjust the hours to be paid and entered into the CCAP payment system.

 

The number of hours may be adjusted but the amount billed may not be changed. The CCAP system will compute the correct amount to be paid to the provider.
