7 AAC 41.345 - Payment of program benefits
(a) After
subtracting a family's contribution calculated under
7
AAC 41.335, the department will pay the remainder of
the eligible cost of care during the time the family is eligible, to
(1) a participating provider on behalf of the
participating family for child care provided; or
(2) a participating family when the family
hires an approved in-home child care caregiver under
7
AAC 41.370.
(b) The department will or a designee shall
prorate a family's contribution required under
7
AAC 41.330 during the month the family applies and is
determined eligible to receive child care if less than a full month, based on
the number of days in the month in which child care is authorized.
(c) In addition to the program benefits paid
under (a) of this section, the department will pay to a licensed provider, on
behalf of a child, any registration fee not to exceed $50 charged by the
provider and billed to the department. The department will pay only one
registration fee per child, per licensed provider, in a calendar
year.
(d) If an enrollment
authorization is currently in place and the family provides written notice of
not less than 10 business days that the family intends to discontinue services,
the department will or its designee shall pay benefits through the last date of
care identified in the notice, even if the child did not attend.
(e) If a provider requires a child to leave
without providing the family written notice at least 10 business days before
the date the child is to leave, payments will be made only through the last day
the child was in attendance.
(f)
In addition to the program benefits authorized for a participating family, the
provider may request payment from the program and be paid for up to 10 hours of
care each day, not to exceed 50 hours of care in a month, if a school-age child
as described in
7
AAC 41.025(b) was in care because of
being too ill to attend school.
