This section covers information on overpayments of CCB to approved child care services (1.1.A.90).
A debt (1.1.D.60) is still recoverable if:
Act reference: FA(Admin)Act section 69 Special provisions relating to approved child care services
The following table shows how overpayments to approved child care services may occur.

If the service… |
Then the amount of the recoverable debt is… |
|
certifies a rate, knowing the reason for certifying the rate does not apply in respect of the child or individual and CCB is paid because of the certificate, |
the difference between the amount paid and the amount that would have been paid if the service had not certified the rate. FA(Admin)Act section 71E |
|
has received a CCB advance, and the service's approval is suspended or cancelled, |
the amount of the advance that has not been used by the service to reimburse itself for care provided at reduced fees. FA(Admin)Act section 71G(3) |
|
commits more than 18% for SCCB, which exceeds its reporting period limit, resulting in payment of an amount of CCB, Note: The service can apply to get the 18% limit increased. This policy applies if the 18% limit is not increased. |
the amount inappropriately committed. Example: John receives SCCB of $500. If he normally received no CCB, the inappropriate approval is $500, which is the recoverable amount. If John normally receives $173.50 CCB, the inappropriate approval is $500 (amount of approval) minus $173.50 (his normal CCB amount). The recoverable amount is therefore $326.50.
