When a consumer employs an in-home/relative provider, DSHS pays the lesser of the following to an eligible in-home/relative provider for child care: (a) The provider's private pay rate for that child; or (b) The maximum child care subsidy rate of two dollars and forty-two cents per hour for the child who needs the greatest number of hours of care and two dollars and thirty-nine cents per hour for the care of each additional child in the family. (2) DSHS may pay above the maximum hourly rate for children who have special needs under WAC 170-290-0235. (3) DSHS makes the WCCC payment directly to a consumer's eligible provider. (4) When applicable, DSHS pays the employer's share of the following: (a) Social Security and medicare taxes (FICA) up to the wage limit; (b) Federal Unemployment Taxes (FUTA); and (c) State unemployment taxes (SUTA). (5) If an in-home/relative provider receives less than the wage base limit per family in a calendar year, DSHS refunds all withheld taxes to the provider.
