a. 14. The payment rates for child care established in accordance with the Child Care and Development Block Grant provisions of 45 CFR 98.43, and based on local market rate surveys.

Current Narrative:

Reimbursement assistance for approved dependent care expenses is $200 for children below 13 years old, with 50 percent federal cost sharing of component participation. Child care expenses above the GETP authorized amount will be supplemented through the 100% federally funded Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) only if the participant meets CCDF Eligibility criteria, funding is available and if CCDF is accepting new and/or reopen applications.  In addition, if CCDF is not supplementing any child care cost that exceeds GETP maximum amount per child, and if a participant utilizes his/her parental choice by selecting a relative or non-relative to provide care for his/her children, then that provider will be subject to obtaining the various clearances (sanitary permit, health certificate) as required under CCDF.  However, if the participant is using child care that is either partially funded or funded in its entirety by CCDF, then that relative or non-relative providing child care will be required to obtain such clearances as required under CCDF.
