FAMP one time funds should be used to increase all CCC Plus Providers' reimbursement rates by 10% effective July 1, 2021. This additional funding will support Providers to offset the increased cost associated with May 1, 2021 and upcoming January 2022 minimum wage increases.
The minimum wage increased by 31% on May 1, 2021. In order for Providers to be competitive in the hiring of qualified staff, reimbursement rates must be alignment with the Provider's cost.
