CARES Act Reporting Requirements for Child Care with Tracey Campanini, Deputy Secretary for the Office of Child Development and Early Learning
CARES Act Reporting Requirements for Child Care with Tracey Campanini, Deputy Secretary for the Office of Child Development and Early Learning 

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
