  1. You must be an NLRB employee.
  2. You must be a full-time or regular part-time employee.

  5. Your child must be age 13 or under, or disabled through age 18.

Requirements After Receiving an Award

 

Q: Once I receive an award letter, what should I do next?

A: You must fully complete, sign, and date the Award Acceptance Agreement included with your award letter and return it to FFA.

 

Q: How do I notify FFA of the amount incurred for childcare charges for each month?

A: You must send FFA a NLRB CCSP Monthly Invoice which shows the total charges incurred for services rendered for childcare services. The charges should be stated as weekly totals, and the weekly totals should be added to get the total for each month. Each week ends on a Friday. Most months will have 4 weeks. You can determine how many weeks are in a month by counting the number of Fridays in the month. If the Friday of a week has a date in the next month, then that entire week should not go on the current month�s invoice, it should go on the next month�s invoice. You and your child care provider must sign the invoice for each month. If you have more than one (1) Childcare Provider, you must submit a separate invoice for each child care Provider. Q: How can I get a copy of the NLRB CCSP Monthly Invoice and who will send it to my provider?

 

Q. How can I get a copy of the NLRB CCSP Monthly Invoice and who will send it to my provider?

You may complete it online using your keyboard, then print it, sign it and have your childcare provider sign it. Also, when you input the weekly charges for each week, the form will automatically calculate the monthly invoice total.

 

Q: Is there a timeframe in which my provider must file invoices for services provided?

A: Yes, monthly invoices for each month must be submitted to FFA no later than the end of the following month. For example, we must receive the June invoice by the end of July; we must receive the July invoice by the end of August, and so on.

 

Q: If I change child care providers when do I notify FFA, and what documents should be submitted?

A: FFA must be notified immediately. We must have a completed Form OPM 1644 for the new childcare provider, and a copy of the provider�s current license or a statement of compliance with state and/or local child care regulations. FFA will not be able to process your monthly invoice without these items.

 

Q: If I change or transfer regional offices within NLRB, should I notify FFA?

A: Yes, please notify FFA immediately, and also indicate the regional change on your NLRB CCSP Monthly Invoice. For example, if you transfer from region 5 to Region 11, or any other region within NLRB, you should notify FFA, and put the correct region on the NLRB CCSP Monthly Invoice form.
