The eligibility worker determines the amount that the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) would pay for the month and if the CCAP share of the total bill for the month is less than $10, the payment will not be issued and should not be entered into the CCAP payment system. If the payment has been entered into the system, delete the payments under $10 from the system, so the payment will not be processed and send the Payment Under $10 notice.

Example: There is one provider and CCAP payment would be less than $10.00, payment will not be issued to the provider.

Exceptions:

• If an error was made when making a payment to a provider and the provider's underpayment is less than $10, issue the supplemental payment if CCAP's total share of the total bill was $10 or more.
• If there are two or more providers, and the payment to be paid by CCAP for one of the provider’s is less than $10 and the payment for the other provider is more than $10, payment to both providers will be made as the total CCAP payment being made is more than $10.

Example: There are two providers and one provider submits a bill for $8.00 and the other provider submits a bill for $130.00. If the portion to be paid by CCAP for both providers is more than $10.00, a payment will be issued to each provider even though the payment to one provider will be less than $10.00.
