Co-pay is due in full BEFORE any money from the state kicks in.

I currently do not have any state kids, but used to.

Some parents think that because the state is paying $*** in advance on the first of the month (this is how Utah state pays), they can wait until the end of the month to pay the rest due.

Wrong! I make it clear that I don't care how much the state is paying. The parent must pay their part FIRST. I won't tend the child without it.

The state actually advises us to do it this way, even though we don't have to.

However, if a parent does not pay their co-pay, they are denied state funding until they do.
