A5107

New Jersey A5107 mandates a review of reimbursement rates for child care providers offering non-traditional hours.

New Jersey A5107 requires the Department of Human Services (DHS) to review reimbursement rates for child care providers participating in the State’s child care assistance program. The review aims to ensure these rates adequately compensate providers offering services during non-traditional hours, such as early mornings and late evenings. If the review finds the rates inadequate, DHS must seek federal funding to compensate these providers. The bill also mandates DHS to prepare a written report, post it on its website, and provide copies upon request to affected child care providers.
