Rural Communities Child Care

New Federal Mandate

To All Child Care Providers,

At this time your payments are not being affected by the Federal Mandate. NCO RCCC will let you know if there is a change. Please know that there will be more Federal Mandates “proposed” but we will keep you informed if any of those affect your direct payments.

A todos los proveedores de cuidado infantil,

En este momento sus pagos no se ven afectados por el Mandato Federal. NCO RCCC le informará si hay algún cambio. Tenga en cuenta que habrá más mandatos federales “propuestos”, pero lo mantendremos informado si alguno de ellos afecta sus pagos directos.
