DFPS-funded child day care services are subject to the availability of funding. Therefore, services are not guaranteed for any client.

All caregivers must be informed that:

• Only DFPS can authorize DFPS-funded day care services.
• DFPS is not responsible for the payment of day care services that eligible children may receive until after DFPS returns the approved IMPACT Form 2054 Service Authorization to the child care services agency authorizing day care services.
• If a child receives day care services before the child care services agency receives the approved Form 2054, DFPS will not pay for those days of service.
