Dear Early Learning Provider,
 
As a reminder, Enhanced Reimbursement (ER) for the months of November and December are open to all licensed providers that are open during those respective months, regardless of their status on July 1st.  As December is the last month for ER, the Department of Education will open the December application on 12/1/2020 at 8am. As a reminder, any program submitting an application for this month must be open and serving children for the month of December, and should report enrollment figures as of 12/1. 
 
Important Note: given the end date of the program, all applications must be submitted through the online application on or before 12/30/2020 to be eligible for payment. December applications submitted between December 1st and December 5th at midnight will be downloaded on Monday, December 7th. Verification calls and payment processing for December applications will begin the week of December 7th. The online application will be removed at midnight on 12/30/20 and will not be accessible to providers.
 
Thank you,
Department of Education
