IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR SCHOOL READINESS AND VPK CHILD CARE PROVIDERS

AUGUST 2018 REIMBURSEMENT

The Office of Early Learning (OEL) is still working to resolve issues with the OEL Provider Portal. 

As a result, ELC Broward can’t process August 2018 attendance via the OEL Provider Portal.

However, ALL Provider Payments will be on time.

See below for the breakdown of how attendance will be calculated for each program type.

We value your commitment to the children of Broward County. Please reach out to your Reimbursement Specialist with any questions/concerns.

SR Attendance will be calculated as follows:

  • Payments will be based on the list of children enrolled in June.
  • Payments will be calculated based on 23 days in August.
  • School Aged Children will be changed from “full-time” to “part-time” beginning the first day of school. “Full-time” family fees will also be changed to “part-time” fees for School Aged Children. 
  • Children who turned 5 years old by September 1st will have their status changed to school-age care beginning the first day of school.
  • Newly enrolled SR children (who were not served in June) will be included in the August reimbursement for SR providers who complete the instructions below:

The ELC will reconcile any over/under payments once the OEL Provider Portal is operational. 

Instructions for New SR Children (with enrollments in July or August):

SR Providers click here to download the Attendance Form where you will add new SR enrollments and indicate any terminations for July and August.

Upload the completed Attendance Form in the Uncategorized Folder of the Document Library on the ELC Provider Portal BY THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH.

VPK Attendance: 

OEL is calculating VPK attendance based on enrollments for August. VPK Providers will be paid based on 100% attendance. Differences will be reconciled once the Provider Portal is back online.

VPK Advance Payments will be made according to standard protocol.

The ELC appreciates your patience as we continue to work closely with OEL to correct the issues with the new Provider Portal.

Please Contact your Reimbursement Specialist if you have any questions or need assistance.
