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 lower of the state rate or 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 lower of the State Rate or amount billed for the family, no child care payment will be made for the month.
• If the Family Monthly Co-pay is less than the lower of the State Rate or amount billed for the family, the Family Monthly Co-pay is deducted from the lower of the State Rate or amount billed and the remaining amount is the maximum payment that will be made.
• When the Family Monthly Co-pay is applied to a child’s allowable child care costs and all of the child’s costs incurred is subject to co-pay, that child continues to be eligible for CCAP and all other eligibility criteria applies to the child.
