§ 3514. Payment to providers

(a) The commissioner shall establish a payment schedule for purposes of reimbursing providers for full or part-time child care services rendered to families who participate in the programs established under section 3512 or 3513 of this title. Payments established under this section shall reflect the following considerations: whether the provider operates a licensed child care facility or a registered family child care home, type of service provided, cost of providing the service and the prevailing market rate for comparable service. Payments shall be based on enrollment status or any other basis agreed to by the provider and the division.

(b) The commissioner may establish a separate payment schedule for child care providers who have received specialized training, approved by the commissioner, relating to protective or family support services. (Added 1987, No. 205 (Adj. Sess.), § 6; amended 2005, No. 174 (Adj. Sess.), § 111.)
