Submitting a Manual Attendance Log and/or Discrepancy Form

​

ECC is the primary attendance reporting system. Submitting an attendance log is a back-up form and specific to ECC. This form DOES NOT replace the parents’ requirement to check their children in and out daily using the ECC system. These forms should be submitted immediately when information was not properly recorded in ECC after the thirteen day back swipe period has passed. This is NOT a guarantee of payment.

When should an attendance log and discrepancy form be submitted?

​

Alternate attendance reporting & manual payment process are no longer accepted unless it meets one the following “Good Cause” criteria as defined:

•       Exceptional WFNJ cases - i.e. cases not processed within authorized start date Exceptional

•       CPS cases - i.e. cases not processed within authorized start date

•       No Equipment installed

•       System glitch that impacts timely or accurate payment

•       No initial Families First Card Issued or delay in reissuing lost/stolen cards (beyond back swipe period). The applicant must notify the CCR&R.

•       Other- requires prior DFD approval, to be determined on a case by case basis

 

In accordance with State regulations ‘at N.J.A.C. 10:15-10.3, providers must submit evidence of services being provided and request payment within 60 days of the service provided. Failure to submit this documentation to CCR&R within the established timeframe shall result in forfeiture of payment.
