July 2020 COVID-19 Child Care Subsidy Payments
The Department of Social Services is committed to supporting our subsidy child care providers and we are pleased to announce we will be able to issue Missouri Child Care Subsidy providers payments based on authorized care instead of actual attendance for the July service month.
To Be Eligible For Payment:
- Child care providers must have received payment for the child(ren) currently authorized within the last 3 service months.
Payment Resolution Requests (https://dss.mo.gov/cd/info/forms) may still need to be submitted in some cases for child care providers who remain opened. The form must be completed and submitted within sixty (60) calendar days for the following two situations:
- Children who are newly authorized to a provider and in care, but have not been paid for care at the provider in the last 3 service months.
- Children who are actually in care outside of authorization (more care than authorized).
Payment for the service month of July will generate automatically to child care providers. Child care providers will not submit attendance for payment through the Child Care Online Invoice System (CCOIS) or through the Child Care Business Information Solution (CCBIS). Payments will automatically generate to child care providers for the full authorization for children authorized to their care.
Child care providers are still required to collect and maintain accurate daily attendance. Child care providers who have been delivered and set up to use the Child Care Business Information Solution (CCBIS) will be required to continue having parents sign children in and out via KinderSign or KinderSmart, and will be required to manage attendance via KinderConnect.
Providers who are not utilizing CCBIS will be required to maintain paper attendance records for the July service month.
