Section 50.420  Provider Registration and Certification Requirements

a)         All license exempt home providers listed in Section 50.410(e) through (h) must register with the State of Illinois by submitting to their respective Child Care Resource and Referral Agency a legible copy of their social security card and a copy of the front and back of a current, valid State issued photo ID, driver's license or military ID.  If the provider's social security card has been lost or stolen, the provider must obtain a duplicate card from the Social Security Administration.  The registration process must be completed before a provider will be authorized to receive child care assistance payments.

b)         A child care center not licensed by the State of Illinois has the burden of demonstrating that it meets the criteria for the exemption that it claims (see 89 Ill. Adm. Code 377) and must certify that its facility or program is exempt from licensure, including submission of a completed License Exempt Day Care Center Self-Certification form.
