Child care providers can receive state child care assistance (CCA) payments for up to 16 half days per consecutive 12-month period when a foster child is absent from scheduled care.
-
Department of Health and Human Services must amend its rules to implement these absence-day payments for foster children enrolled in the CCA program.

Payments for absences only apply when the foster child is regularly scheduled for care during those days and the provider also charges non-CCA families for absent days.
