FROM: KIM EVANS, DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CHANGES TO TRANSITIONAL CHILD CARE (TCC)
DISCUSSION:
Effective July 1, 2023 the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) will no longer pay a percentage of the state base rate for TCC. Participants receiving TCC will now pay a daily sliding fee based on the level of TCC they are receiving:
- Transitional Child Care 1 (TCC1) – $7.50 per day
- Transitional Child Care 2 (TCC2) – $8.75 per day
- Transitional Child Care 3 (TCC3) – $10 per day
This is the sliding fee per day. Full time (FT), half time (HT), and part time (PT) units of care are not considered for TCC.
Note: Any delay implementing this in the eligibility system will not delay payments to the provider.
All participants receiving TCC benefits will receive notice of these changes via Claimant Information Notice (FA601).
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
