CHILD CARE PROVIDER CONFIRMATION

Please initial each box to verify that you have read and understand the policies listed below:


As a child care provider I understand that:


Providers must continue to meet all minimum requirements set by the state and agree to comply with all AmeriCorps Child Care policies necessary for reimbursement.


Providers must be 18 or older and may not be the other parent or adult sibling in the home.


Providers will notify the AmeriCorps Child Care Program immediately when a child stops attending.


Providers will submit monthly attendance sheets to receive payments; upon receipt of a completed attendance sheet, payment will be disbursed within 10 business days.


Unless my state of residence allows, the AmeriCorps Child Care Program will not pay additional fees for registration, late fees, transportation, meals/snacks, field trips, or any other miscellaneous fees.


The AmeriCorps Child Care Program will pay only licensed and regulated providers for up to five sick/no-care days per month; these days must be marked on the attendance to be included for payments (using “A” for absent or “H” for holiday). If you reside in Washington State, you may be eligible for more than 5 absence days per child per month.


Members and Providers should make mutually agreeable payment arrangements for any necessary upfront payments or charges not covered by AmeriCorps Child Care benefit.


Payments will be either mailed or deposited (if enrolled in Electronic Deposit). If a check is mailed to you, it will be sent to the address listed on the Form W9.


Providers will not charge a higher fee for children of AmeriCorps members for the same services. Providers overcharging AmeriCorps members will be required to pay back for overpayments thus, resulting in the cancelation of future payments from AmeriCorps Child Care.


The AmeriCorps Child Care Program cannot pay me more than the maximum rate(s) as established by the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) for my state. All charges above what the benefit amount covers must be collected from the AmeriCorps Member.


AmeriCorps members may not claim the AmeriCorps child care benefit while also receiving a child care benefit from another source.


I have read all of the above and understand its content. I also understand that non-compliance with any of the above may result in termination of my participation in the AmeriCorps Child Care Program as a child care provider and that I may be required to re-pay any money paid if in violation of the above mentioned policies and misrepresentation of information may result in prosecution under applicable state and federal law.

I have read and understand the above child care policies and I approve the child care provider listed on this form to provide care for my child(ren).


I understand that the child care benefits for which I am approved for are based on my income, family size, age of child(ren), the county/region care is provided, and the license type of the provider I select. If there are any changes to my situation, I must report all changes to the AmeriCorps Child Care Program immediately.


I certify that the provider I have chosen does not reside with me.


I agree to complete required attendance sheets on a timely basis to ensure that my child care provider receives timely payments.


I understand that all payments will be sent to my child care provider.

I have read all of the above and understand its content. I also understand that non-compliance with any of the above may result in termination of my participation in the AmeriCorps Child Care Program and that I may be required to re-pay any money paid on my behalf and misrepresentation of information may result in legal action.
