Clients receiving Child Care benefits must meet these responsibilities:

• Choose a child care provider that has a valid contract with DHS
• Do not choose a one star child care center
• Do not choose a child care home for which I work
• Swipe EBT card every day that child attends child care facility
• Never swipe attendance for hours outside my DHS approved schedule
• Never swipe attendance for any days or times my child does not attend child care
• Never give your EBT card or pin number to anyone, including child care provider
• Pay my family share copayment directly to my provider when I owe a copayment
• Agree to contact worker if you do not receive an approved message on the point of service (POS) machine
• Pay for child care DHS will not pay because:
  • I did not swipe my EBT card for the correct days and times my child attended child care
  • Swipes were denied and I did not get them corrected within 10 calendar days
  • My provider loses the absent days payment for a weekly authorization because I did not swipe correct attendance for every day my child attended that month
• Report changes in need for child care
• Report if my child no longer attends child care
• Report when I change child care providers
