Failure to submit your claim via the Provider Portal by the specified date may mean your payment is delayed and /or the hours adjusted.
Key points to remember:
- Funding can be adjusted at any point throughout the claim period
- Providers should check the portal following the balancing payment for confirmation of funding paid, as adjustments occur where the national criteria is not met
- Funding should not be claimed where a funding form has not been completed and signed by the parent/carer
