This letter transmits information to county departments of Job and Family Services (CDJFS) and to child care providers regarding funding for reimbursement to providers of subsidized child care during the interim budget period. H.B. 16 and H.B. 245 appropriated funding for the interim budget period, July 1 through July 14.

Funding for reimbursement to child care providers may be delayed. The length of the delay depends upon how frequently the CDJFS reimburses these providers. For counties that pay monthly, there may be little or no delay. For counties that pay more often, there will be a delay.

All providers will receive the entire reimbursement amount for the child care services rendered during the interim budget period.

CDJFS shall accept and process child care applications and determine income eligibility as required in rule 5101:2-16-30 of the Administrative Code, which, at this time, allows for maximum monthly income of up to 200% FPL.

CDJFS shall accept and process ELI applications during this interim budget period as required in Chapter 5101:2-23 of the Administrative Code.
