ELC Escambia School Readiness Provider Rates Change July 01, 2024
The Provider Reimbursement Rates for the School Readiness Program for the Early Learning Coalition of Escambia County changed on July 1, 2024. The new rate table is provided in the link below. Also, effective since July 01, 2022, the Coalition will pay its published rate for all children regardless of what a Provider’s Private Pay Rate is. No longer will the Coalition pay the lesser of the two rates. All Providers’ new SR Contracts for 2024-2025 reflect this change, as well as a change to our rates.
Attendance Days: The Coalition will accept Reimbursement Packages for the prior month on the first three business days of each month. Service hours for processing and submitting packages are from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. when the days are on Monday to Thursday, and 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. if one of the three business days occurs on a Friday. The Coalition encourages all Providers to submit their documentation by email or fax, however, if necessary, Providers can scan their paperwork in the Provider/Parent Resource Area in the Coalition Lobby, or the documents can be faxed. Providers are required to submit copies of their sign-in/sign-out sheets and supporting documentation, such as extraordinary absence forms, each month. A paper copy of the attendance sheet is required.
