Applying the Co-pay 400-28-90-15
(Revised 10/1/11 ML #3278)
The Family Monthly Co-pay amount is subtracted from the State Rate to determine the State Maximum Monthly Share.
When payment is being determined, the Family Monthly Co-pay is deducted from the amount billed on the Child Care Billing Report Form.
When applying the Family Monthly Co-pay to payments:
- The Family Monthly Co-pay is applied to the provider who is first entered into the payment system. If there are two providers, the Family Monthly Co-pay is applied to the first provider entered into the payment system. If any amount of the Family Monthly Co-pay is remaining it will be applied to the second provider, etc.
- If the Family Monthly Co-pay is greater than the child care costs incurred in a month, no child care payment will be made for the month.
- If the Family Monthly Co-pay is less than the child care costs incurred, the Family Monthly Co-pay is deducted from the billed amount and the remaining billed amount is the maximum payment that will be made.
The DN 241, Child Care Sliding Fee Schedule is included at Section 400-28-165-25.
