New York S01709 mandates the Office of Children and Family Services to use a cost estimation model for determining child care costs and to report.

New York S01709 amends the social services law to require the Office of Children and Family Services to use a cost estimation model when determining the actual costs child care providers incur. This model must consider factors such as employee salary and benefits, enrollment levels, facility costs, and compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. If a quality rating system is used, the model must also account for the cost of providing services at each quality level.
