PIP ANNOUCEMENT : CCS/P Top-Up

Roscommon CCC has been notified of the following notice on PIP- 23rd July 2018.

Services, further to the announcement posted to the PIP Portal on 11/05/2018, please note the following:

CCS/P Top Up payments have been distributed for all eligible services; if your service offered ECCE 2017 in addition to CCS/P 2017 you may have been entitled to a top-up payment for eligible registrations.

In order to qualify, your service must have been awarded the following under ECCE 2017:

· Higher Capitation

and/or

· LINC (AIM Level 1)

Top-up payment has been issued for:

Any child attending CCS or CCSP who would have otherwise been eligible to attend for ECCE i.e. any child born between 1^st January 2013 and 31^st March 2015 registered at your service for CCS/P 2017 instead of ECCE 2017.

Payment has been issued by way of a special allocation and has been uniquely identified on your Portal as such.

The payment has been based on the rates your service received for Higher Capitation (€10.50 per child per 5 day week) and LINC (€2.00 per child per 5 day week).

The following has also factored into your top-up calculation:

Attendance – Payment has been based on actual attendance e.g. if an eligible child is registered from 06.11.17 to 30.03.18 under CCSP, then top-up payment for LINC/Higher Capitation will cover that period only.

Allowance – Similarly, payment reflects service allowance for Higher Capitation/LINC e.g. if your service has been awarded Higher Capitation/LINC from 01.01.18 to 29.06.18, then top-up payment will only be made for eligible children registered during that period.

Higher Capitation CAP – If a service had already exceeded their Higher Capitation allowance under ECCE, a top-up under CCS/P will not apply.

F.T.E. – Payment has been adjusted to reflect attendance less than 5 days.

Service Calendars – Payment applies for payable weeks only.
