One-Time Pandemic Support Payment

ODJFS Licensed Center-Based, Type A and Type B Family Child Care Programs that are open, and operating are eligible for this payment. Programs must have been licensed, opened, and operating as of 5/27/2021 in order to receive this One-Time Pandemic Support Payment.

There is not an application to apply for these funds.  Your program will receive these funds based on information provided by ODJFS.

If your program did not receive a Pandemic Support Payment Grant(s) in June – October 2020, OCCRRA will need you to complete a W-9 and upload it your Organization Dashboard in the Ohio Professional Registry.  If your program did receive checks from OCCRRA for Pandemic Support Payment Grants, no further action is needed.

Program Administrators and Owners listed on the ODJFS program license will need Organization Dashboard access to upload their program’s W-9 form. If you do not have access, you may request it by emailing the professional’s name, their OPIN and the program license number to registry@occrra.org.

Payments will be sent by check to the program address in the OPR. Payments to programs will start in mid-July 2021.

To expedite the acceptance of your W-9, please make sure the following is completed.

• Be sure to upload the signed and dated W-9 form into the Organization Dashboard by July 15, 2021.
• Provide only one Tax Identification Number, either a Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number (EIN). For these funds, please default to an EIN if your program has one.
• When using the IRS template, please make sure your edits have been saved to the document before attempting to upload. Blank W-9s will be returned for completion.

Yes, programs must upload their W-9, if applicable, by July 15, 2021. Programs without W-9 information will forfeit the One-Time Program Payment.

There are not any requirements on how the funds should be spent.

No, a reconciliation is not a requirement of these funds.

OCCRRA does not provide tax advice and encourages programs to reach out to your tax preparer regarding tax questions. OCCRRA follows the IRS guidance and will generate a Form 1099 for these funds. One-Time Program Payment Funding is from the Federal Stimulus funding in 2021, CFDA #93.575. Currently, the IRS has not provided guidance that these Stimulus funds are not taxable.
