Vendors must document and maintain a record of each child's attendance. When an enrolled child is absent, vendors must inform the Child Care Management Services (CCMS) contractor and must follow procedures required by the Commission and the CCMS contractor. The CCMS contractor must follow up on each child's absences, as required by the Commission. Failure by the CCMS contractor to follow up each child's absences as required by Commission may result in withholding payment from the CCMS contractor. Failure by the vendor to keep attendance records as required by the Commission may result in withholding payment from the vendor or in termination of the Vendor Agreement.
