Governor Newsom signed the budget this past week which means the two pending policies discussed in the mailer are now in effect. However, we are still waiting on the official direction from California Department of Social Services (CDSS) outlining implementation instructions for the waiver of fees and reimbursing child care providers based on the maximum certified need.

In the meantime, providers are NOT to collect July 2022 family fees as they have been waived from July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023.
