My rep is using the food program as motivation for me to consider getting licensed again. The state is lacking providers who will accept CCA, and she was really pushing that to me as well yesterday. She claims that I can get paid at a rate for 10 hours of care provided even if I only provide 6 hours of care, and a bunch of other things that go against the information provided by the state. I started out as a licensed provider and chose to drop it and be legally unlicensed for a reason.
State assistance works like that in my area.
If a child is in attendance for 5.5 hours, we are automatically paid for a full day.
If they are in attendance for 36 hours per week, we are automatically paid a full weekly rate.
