Subsidized Child Care

Community Services for Children administers the Child Care Information Service (CCIS) for Lehigh County. The state funds CCISs to improve access to child care for low-income families. Qualifying child care providers who accept children for Subsidized Care are paid a reimbursement rate. Enrollments need to be authorized by the CCIS prior to the children attending the child care. Enrollment summaries are mailed to the child care providers once the enrollment has been processed.

The CCIS will issue a child care attendance invoice to the provider on the 25^th of the month for which child care is provided. Child care providers who submit signed child care invoices for payment by the fifth calendar day of the month following the month in which child care was provided will be paid by the 20^th of that month. The CCIS accepts attendance invoices via multiple channels of access such as fax, US mail, or hand delivered. Any invoices received after the 5^th of the month or adjustments to previously paid invoices will be processed and payments issued by the next payment cycle.
