Lost Checks 400-28-135-25
(Revised 10/1/20 ML #3574)
If a provider/caretaker reports that a check has not been received, the eligibility worker should verify when the payment was processed.
If it has been over seven working days since the check has been processed, contact the State Child Care Assistance office with the following information: Case number and name of caretaker; Social Security number/Employer Identification Number (EIN) and name of provider; the processed date, and the amount of the payment.
If the stop payment process is necessary, it will be initiated by the State Child Care Assistance office. If the stop payment process has been started, and the client/provider finds the lost check, the check cannot be cashed.
