COVID-19 Information Update From Solano Family & Children's Services

Update – March 30, 2020:  We just received a new directive from the California Department of Education (CDE) regarding family fees.  Family fees for the months of April, May, & June 2020 have been waived, and are not to be collected.  Family fees for March & prior months will not be credited or refunded and are to be paid by the parent to their provider.

• Parents Who Pay Family Fees: For the months of April, May, & June 2020, please DO NOT pay the provider your monthly family fees.  Your fees will resume, as assessed/scheduled, on July 1, 2020, unless otherwise notified.
• Providers: For the months of April, May, & June 2020, please DO NOT collect family fees from your Subsidized Child Care Families.  SFCS WILL NOT deduct any family fees from your reimbursements for these three months.  Please keep in mind that in April, we will still be reimbursing you for March & prior months of service, so these amounts will still reflect a deduction for family fees that you should have collected for March & prior months.  The reimbursements we begin to process in May, for April services, is when you will first see that we are not deducting family fees.
• Delinquent Family Fees: CDE has asked that parents who are behind on paying their family fees for March and prior months, not be expected to pay on these fees until after July 1, 2020.  Therefore, we will not be taking action against any parent for not following through with their delinquent fee payment arrangement.  If a parent would like to continue paying on their delinquent fees between now and June 30, 2020, they may do so.
