Frequently Asked Questions

• I am trying to enter a Provider Address, but the system is giving me the error "The Provider Address is not valid" and I cannot save the information. What do I do?
  • The physical street address for each child's subsidized childcare provider is required. Confirm that the actual street address of the site or home where the subsidized childcare services were provided during the report period is entered correctly.
• Our agency operates several sites. We have a child who received services at one of our sites during the first part of the month but transferred to a different site during the last part of the month. How do we report this?
  • Agencies report two providers for children receiving subsidized childcare services operated by the same provider at two different locations. All the provider information is the same except each would reflect a different street address (and possibly a different zip code).
