Direct Deposit: We Won!

After years of debate, CCPUnited recently persuaded Pennsylvania Child Care Information Services (CCIS) to offer direct deposit to family providers.

Providers across the state are thrilled.

“Direct deposit is very reliable, because you don’t have to worry about your money or your check getting lost in the mail,” said child care provider Diane Matthews from Pittsburgh. “You can call your bank and find out if your money has been deposited and then start spending!”

Direct deposit is a widely accepted payment option allowing workers to receive their subsidy reimbursements directly in their bank account.

Market Rate Survey for Pennsylvania Child Care Providers

The Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW) is in the process of surveying child care providers about the fees we charge parents in order to determine "market rates."

We want to make sure that DPW hears from as many child care providers as possible in order to help them establish accurate market rates.

Please download the survey worksheet and use it as a guide for completing your market rate survey.

The market rate survey must be completed and returned to your local Child Care Information Services (CCIS) office no later than April 17, 2009.
