The Department of Human Services regrets to inform you that there is not enough money in the state budget to pay for child care services for the rest of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.  We have requested additional funds from the General Assembly but to date we have not received any additional dollars. Without additional money, we can't continue to pay for child care services. Effective immediately, you should expect a delay in payment for April services. We will continue to receive and process bills on a first in first out basis until funds are depleted.  If additional money is made available, we will process bills in the order they were received.  Without more money, bills for most of April services and all of May and June services will be held until July 2012.  Payments will resume in July when the FY13 budget is available.  We are sorry for the hardship this creates for you.
