Increases Purchase of Care provider reimbursement rates by 10% for fiscal year 2027.

The bill proposes a 10% increase in reimbursement rates for Purchase of Care providers serving children ages 0-5 for fiscal year 2027.

The reimbursement rates are the amounts paid to childcare providers for services rendered to families receiving subsidies. The bill recognizes the importance of fair reimbursement for providers, who accept state payment rates comprised of state and federal contributions.
