Bill > SB881

This bill clarifies how child care providers will be reimbursed for services when families receive child care subsidies, which are government funds to help pay for child care. Specifically, it mandates that reimbursement should be based on a child's monthly enrollment, meaning providers will be paid for a child being signed up, as long as that child attends the provider's site for at least two and a half hours on at least one day during the month. This change aims to simplify the process for providers and ensure they receive payment even for minimal attendance within a month. Additionally, the bill requires the department to establish an electronic system for providers to submit attendance records for reimbursement by July 1, 2026, meaning all future claims will need to be filed digitally.
