Assessing Co-Payment Fees Per Child

Assessing Co-Payment Fees Per Child The child care provider shall not charge parents any cost over the assigned co-payment fee unless the cost for child care to the general public is higher than the amount paid by the CCPP. Full-time and part-time status is based on the child’s age and the time of year the child is attending the child care center. 1) If a parent has a child receiving full-time child care services, the total co-payment fee shall be stated on that child's certificate. 2) If a parent has a child receiving part-time child care services, only half of the total co- payment fee shall be stated on the child’s certificate. 3) If a child is in full-time child care and part-time child care during the same month, the co- payment fee shall be assessed on the majority of the type of care provided. Example: If a child is served 16 (sixteen) part-time days and 5 (five) full-time days, the part-time co-payment fee shall be assessed for the month.
