Child care providers who accepted Round 3 CARES Act funds were informed as part of the application process there would be a reporting requirement.
Any person or entity accepting a Round 3 CARES Act payment must provide documentation to the Department of Human Services (DHS).
DHS has developed an online reporting form to collect information about the use of Round 3 CARES Act funding. The reporting form captures provider information and COVID-19 related expenditures. The link above providers a brief overview of the four reporting buckets.
Instructions for accessing web-based reporting portal will be sent at the end of November. This email communication will be sent directly to the lead agency contact for OCDEL licensing . DHS expects the final report to be available in the web portal beginning in early December.
Providers that accepted Round 3 CARES Act funding are required to complete a cost report through the web-based portal by no later than Dec. 21, 2020. Providers should keep all documentations related to the costs reported in the final report for a minimum of five years.
Thank you for your ongoing assistance during these trying times. Please submit any questions about Round 3 CARES Act expense reporting to RA-PWELRCQA@pa.gov.
