We already have such a limited income as providers and the ratios the state mandates. I wouldn't do state subsidy in a state that won't let us charge parents for the remaining amount. What other business do people work in that has a ceiling on income? Geesh. Why do we do it? It's not for the big bucks, that's for sure.

Wow that's a new one for me. Here in CA subsidy has their maximum amount that they will pay (which they don't tell us by the way). If a family makes under a certain amount then subsidy will cover the maximum that they allow and if there is still a balance then the family pays the difference. If they make over a certain amount then they are required to make a co-payment so these families only get a certain amount of their fees paid but they have to pay the rest out of pocket. If it were any other way I would not accept subsidy.

I still require that the client pay until they are approved because for us there is also a waiting period to see if they are approved or not. Of they are then I return whatever amount I get reimbursed for minus the two-week deposit which is not covered by subsidy.

The last week of the month I get a form in the mail stating what days child(ren) were in my care according to parent's schedule. IF there are any changes, I mark accordingly. Like for absents or unexpected care. The last day of the month, I mail it back. Then it gets reviewed. Then I get a check. It takes about 3 weeks to get it.
My dcp has a co-pay and pays the difference what subsidy pays and my rates. It's even in the papers I got from subsidy that I can/should have parents pay that difference.

Sorry it took so long I went to the DHS website and couldn't find it either, everything has changed since I did it. I swear they don't want to help us at all! Very frustrating!
