Receives Subsidized Care

Child Care and Adult Day Centers that are for-profit institutions need to prove that at least 25% of the participants for a claim month are either:

  • Eligible for free- or reduced-price meals - OR - 
  • Social Security Act Title XIX (adult care only) or Title XX beneficiaries


The "Receives Subsidized Care" is for designating that a participant is a Social Security Act Title XIX or Title XX beneficiary.


During claims processing, the system will look at the Participant Claim Roster for any for-profit child care or adult day center and ensure that the 25% threshold is met. If not, then all meals will be disallowed with reason "Claiming Percentage Below 25 Percent"

  • Click on Participants & Rosters from the main site dashboard
  • Click on the name of the participant
  • Scroll down to the checkbox labeled "Receives Subsidized Care"
  • Add or remove the selection
    • Note that because this checkbox can impact a claim, it is only able to be changed by a sponsor user; it is greyed out for site-level users
  • Click Save and you will be sent to the household page for that participant
