HF 344: Relating to state child care assistance reimbursement rates

What it does

This bill replaces the ability for child care providers to collect additional fees from families participating in the state child care assistance program (CCA) if the child care provider’s private-pay rate is more than the state’s CCA reimbursement rate with the requirement that the department of health and human services reimburse a child care provider at the rate the child care provider would typically charge a private-pay family for child care. Under current law, child care providers are reimbursed under the CCA at a rate equal to the lesser of the child care provider’s private-pay rate or a rate set by the state varying on the type of child care provider, the age of the child, and the child care provider’s rating under the quality rating system.
