FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE

CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OVERVIEW

1)Who is eligible for child care assistance from the state? * Income eligible working families;

*TANF clients in education, training, or other work-related activities approved by their caseworkers;

*Teen parents (under age 20) in elementary or high school, or a GED program;

*Income eligible families who are in school or training and are not receiving TANF cash assistance.

*Occupational/vocational training, GED, ABE, ESL, and other below post-secondary education programs do not have a work requirement for the first 24 months. High school does not have a work requirement.

2) Is there a waiting list for child care assistance?

No. Anyone who meets the eligibility requirements may receive a child care assistance.

3) How long can I continue to receive child care assistance?

There is no time limit. As long as you are income eligible and need child care to work or participate in an approved activity, you remain eligible. Your Approval Letter will list the first and last months that you are eligible for assistance. Usually, you will be approved for 3 or 6 months at a time. Before your approval period ends, you will have to renew your child care case in order to continue receiving assistance. You will do this by filling out a “redetermination” form. This form will be automatically mailed to you in the month before your approval period ends. For example, if you are approved through April, you should receive your redetermination form in March. If you don't return your redetermination form and all required documents -OR- if you no longer meet the eligibility guidelines of the program, your case will be canceled.

4) If I receive child care assistance from the State will I still have to pay something?

The State requires all parents to pay a monthly "co-payment" directly to their provider. The amount of your monthly co-payment is determined by IDHS and the amount may vary from parent to parent. Monthly co-payments are based on gross monthly income, family size, and number of children in child care. The amount of your monthly co-payment will be listed on your Approval Letter. The State will deduct the parent co-payment from the total charges up to the maximum child care rate. If the co-payment is more than the total charges, the parent pays the lesser amount to the provider and no payment is made by the State.

5) How can I find a child care provider?

You may call a parent counselor at your local Child Care Resource & Referral Agency (CCR&R) at 1-877-202-4453 (toll-free) to get help finding child care for your child. You must have a child care provider before you submit your application.

6) Will my information be verified?

Yes. Information submitted by the parent/guardian on the application and supporting documentation is verified through various agencies' databases and internet websites. Databases used include, but are not limited to: TANF, Food Stamps, Medical, employment Security, Department of Labor, Social Security Administration, Child Support Enforcement, and Chicago Public Schools. Information from these databases and websites will be taken into consideration when determining eligibility.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

7) What does “income eligible” mean?

A family is considered income eligible when the combined gross monthly income of all family members is at or below the amounts listed below for the corresponding family size. In two-parent families, both incomes must be combined to determine eligibility. Two-parent families include those with 2 or more adults living in the home, such as the applicant and his or her spouse or parents of a common child in the home.

8) Must I be the child's parent to qualify for the program?

No. A child's legal guardian or other relatives caring for the child are also eligible and should fill out an application form. Foster parents can receive child care assistance from the Department of Children and Family Services.

9) How old can the child be?

All children under age 13 are eligible. Children 13 or older are eligible if they are under court supervision or have written documentation from a medical provider stating that they are physically or mentally incapable of caring for themselves.

10) Can I receive child care assistance for the time I travel to or from work or school/training?

Yes. You can receive child care assistance for reasonable time you spend traveling to and from your child care provider to your job or school /training, as well as for the time you are working or attending school/training.

11) What if my work schedule varies?

You may submit additional paycheck stubs and attach additional information to establish an average work schedule.

12) What if my child's other parent or stepparent lives in my home?

If the child's other parent or stepparent lives in your home, he or she also needs to be working or in school, training, or a TANF-required activity in order for you to receive a child care subsidy. The other parent or stepparent also needs to complete pages 4 - 6 of the application and submit the same kinds of documents as you do, which are listed in the application instructions. If the other parent or stepparent is not working or in school, training, or a TANF-required activity, you will need to write and sign a statement about why he or she cannot care for the child.

13) When will I find out if I'm approved for child care assistance?

You and your provider will be notified of approval or denial within 30 days after we receive your completed application and all of the required documentation. Incomplete applications are the #1 reason for delay.

14) When should I send my child to their child care provider and when should the child care provider start care?

Children should not attend child care prior to the approval notice unless the parent and the provider have a payment agreement plan in place until the approval/denial notice is received by both the parent and the provider.

CHOOSING A CHILD CARE PROVIDER

15) Does my child care provider have to be licensed?

No. Certain home child care providers are not required to have a license. A provider without a license must be at least 18 years old and may not care for more than 3 children, including their own children, unless all of the other children are from the same household.

16) Will the State pay relatives to take care of my child?

Yes. Relatives can be paid to provide child care even if they live in the home with the child. Parents and step-parents cannot be paid as child care providers. TANF clients can be paid child care providers; however, earnings must be reported to their IDHS caseworkers. Exception: the State will not pay any relatives included in the child's TANF grant to care for the child.

17) Does the State do any kind of background check on child care providers?

In Illinois, all child care providers must undergo a backgound check. The background check consists of three parts: a CANTS check (Child Abuse

&Neglect Tracking System), a SOR check (Sex Offender Registry), and a criminal history record check wich is done through fingerprinting. Your provider will be required to have some or all of these checks. If care is done in your provider's home, anyone who lives in the home who is age 13

or older will also be required to be checked. There is no charge to the parent or the provider for the background check. Your CCR&R will tell your provider and their household members which checks they are required to complete.

PAYMENTS

18) Can my child care provider charge me more than my co-payment amount?

Yes, If your provider charges private paying parents a higher rate than the IDHS program pays, your provider can ask you to pay the difference by requiring a fee in addition to your co-payment. Be sure that you and your provider discuss what you are expected to pay before care for your child starts. If your provider's costs are too high for you, your CCR&R may be able to help you find a child care provider who is more affordable. Call them for help finding a new child care provider.

19) How much will the child care provider be paid by the State?

The most the State will pay depends on the age of the child, the region of the state, the type of child care provider, and whether the child is in full -time or part-time care. A copy of the rates can be obtained by calling the CCR&R. All providers are considered self-employed (NOT employees of IDHS or the CCR&R). Taxes cannot be taken out of payments. Providers are required by law to report all Child Care payments to the IRS as earned income. If your provider is not a corporation or governmental unit (public school or park district), and earns over $600 within a calendar year, your provider will receive a copy of the 1099 Miscellaneous Form from the Office of the Comptroller reporting his/her income to the IRS. Your provider should receive the form by February 15th.

20) When will my child care provider get paid?

It can take 4 to 8 weeks for your provider to receive the first payment. After your provider receives the first payment, regular payments will arrive on a monthly basis. The reason the first payment takes longer is your provider's name and social security number must be recorded with the Office of the Comptroller before any payments can be made. To do this, the CCR&R will mail your provider a W9 tax form. The sooner he or she neatly completes and returns the W9 form to the CCR&R, the sooner he or she gets paid.

After the Office of the Comptroller has your provider's information on file, we can send him or her the first "billing certificate." This is the form that you and your provider complete each month to tell IDHS how much to pay your provider.

21) How can my child care provider expect to be paid?

IDHS is offering for family home child care providers to receive their payments through the Illinois Debit MasterCard. The Debit Card presents the opportunity for home child care providers to receive their payments in a quicker, less expensive manner than a paper check. The provider will receive payment for all children they are providing care for on one card. No more worrying about lost or stolen checks! Each month the provider will receive a statement identifying each case for which they are receiving payment. For more information regarding the Illinois Debit MasterCard, go to the following website: http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=45466 or contact your CCR&R.

Payments can be deposited directly into your provider's bank account. This can be especially helpful if your provider has been having trouble with mail. Call 217-557-0930 to set up direct deposit. For purposes of record keeping, your provider may want to ask the bank what kind of receipt information they can pass on, as the provider will not receive payment information from IDHS or the Comptroller's office when using direct deposit.

Effective September 20, 2011, Home Child Care Providers will receive all provider payments on the Illinois Debit Mastercard card unless they choose direct deposit. Paper checks will remain an option if the provider cannot accept an electronic method for receiving funds.

The IDHS Child Care Telephone Billing System is an easier and faster way to get paid. Contact your CCR&R for more information.

22) How can I or my child care provider check status of payments?

Clients and providers can call the IDHS toll free phone number to find out payment information. If you have a touch-tone phone, you can call 1-800-804-3833 to find out if your payments have been entered by the CCR&R and mailed by the State Comptroller. This toll free number is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can also get payment information by visiting the State Comptroller's web site at:

www.comptroller.state.il.us and select "vendor payments."

OTHER

23) What should I do if my circumstances change?

The parent or provider should call us when any of the following changes occur:

* Change Providers		*	Change address	* Stop working or change jobs * Stop receiving TANF
*	Stop attending school or training	*	Have medical/maternity leave	*	Change family size
*	Have any other changes that may affect your eligibility			*	Change income

Failure to report any changes within 10 days may result in an overpayment which you will have to pay back and/or loss of child care benefits. If you stop working, you may be able to continue to receive a child care subsidy up to 30 days after the loss of your job while you look for work.

24) If I am a client or child care provider and I move, will my mail and checks be forwarded?

No, all clients and providers must fill out and submit a client/provider address form within 10 days of relocating.

25) How can I verify employment if I am self employed or cash paid?

A copy of the most recent, signed federal income tax return and all applicable schedules and attachments. After April 15th of each year, only the tax return for the previous year is acceptable. If the tax return was submitted electronically, you must provide a copy of the receipt in the absence of a signature. If a tax return is not available, a monthly statement of earnings and expenses must be submitted until an income tax return is submitted.

If you are paid in cash, a payment verification letter is required from each individual who pays you in cash for performing a service. You cannot write the letter yourself. It MUST be from the person who pays you.

All verifications must include the following information:

1.The name, address, and phone number, of the individual completing the letter;

2.The type of work performed;

3.Who performed the work;

4.The date(s) the work was completed or if the activity is on-going;

5.The rate of pay; and

6.The employee's schedule. If the expenses exceed the gross receipts, the self-employment income will be zero (-0-). Those additional expenses which exceed the gross receipts will not be subtracted from other earned or unearned income in the household. If the number of hours worked cannot be verified, the amount of child care services allowed shall not exceed the documented income divided by the current State minimum hourly wage.

Example: A parent reports that she cleans 5 homes per week and only earns $100 per week. To calculate the number of hours/days to approve, divide $100 by $8.25 (State minimum wage effective 7/1/10) = 12.12 hours. Depending on the parent's actual work/transportation schedule, the parent could be approved

for either: 1 full and 1 part time day,	2 full and 1 part day, or 3 part days of care.
