Utah Admin. Code R986-700-714 - CC Payment Method
(1) The
provider must provide a valid financial account and routing number to allow for
payment by direct deposit. For open, ongoing cases, payment will be issued on
the first day of the month for services to be provided during that month. The
provider is not an employee of the Department, the Office of Child Care, or the
state of Utah even if the provider is only providing care for one
client.
(2) Under unusual or
extraordinary circumstances, the Department can issue payment by check. If a
provider cannot obtain a financial account for direct deposit, the provider
must contact the Department and explain why direct deposit is not
possible.
(3) In the event that a
check is reported as lost or stolen, the provider is required to sign a
statement that they have not received funds from the original check before a
replacement check can be issued. The check must be reported as lost or stolen
within 60 days of the date the check was mailed. The statement must be signed
on an approved Department form. If the original check has been redeemed, the
Department will conduct an investigation and the provider may be required to
provide a sworn, notarized statement that the signature on the endorsed check
is a forgery. If the Department determines the redeemed check was a forgery,
the Department may require a waiting period prior to issuing a replacement
check.
(4) The Department is
authorized to stop payment on a CC check without prior notice if:
(a) the Department has determined that the
client or the provider was not eligible for the CC payment, the Department has
confirmed with the child care provider that no services were provided for the
month in question or the provider cannot be located, and the Department has
made an attempt to contact the provider: or
(b) when the check has been outstanding for
at least 90 days; or
(c) the check
is lost or stolen.
(5) No
stop payment will be issued by the Department without prior notice to the
provider unless the provider is not providing services or cannot be contacted.
