31310018P0046 SECTION C - Statement of Work C.1. Background The NRC/OCHCO provides benefits, counseling and personnel services to NRC employees, which enhances the balance of work and family responsibilities and assists NRC in recruiting and retaining the skills necessary to accomplish its mission. As such, OCHCO plans, implements, and monitors a full range of employee benefits; plays an active leadership role in the development of new initiatives; and serves as an agency-wide clearinghouse for information on employee benefits and other related programs.

Congress enacted Public Law 107-67 (hereinafter referred to as the Act), which permits Federal agencies to assist their lower income Federal employees with the costs of child care. This legislation allows Federal agencies to provide subsidies directly to the child care provider and thus, can reduce the amount of money that parents pay for childcare. To be eligible to participate in this program, child care provided must be a family child care home or child care center. Either type of care must be licensed and/or regulated by the State and/or local authorities where the service is provided.

C.2 Objective The objective of this requirement is to obtain support services from the contractor to assist in administering the NRCs Child Care Subsidy Program.

C.3 Scope of Work/Tasks The contractor shall handle all administrative tasks associated with the child care subsidy program, including providing information to respond to requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act or Privacy Act. The NRC shall provide funding on the subsequent contract, for the purpose of the contractor to provide payment to child care providers as tuition assistance funds on behalf of the NRC. The NRC currently has a limit of for tuition assistance for the period of performance of this bridge contract. However this limit may be adjusted at the NRCs discretion.

Contractor tasks include:

C.3.1 Determine Subsidy Eligibility and Subsidy Amount The contractor shall provide applications for the Child Care Subsidy Program (NRC Form 734) to NRC employees via email, as requested. Employees may also obtain NRC Form 734 from the NRCs Child Care Subsidy Program webpage, the NRC Forms Library, or from OPM.gov (OPM Form 16440). NRC staff will submit completed applications directly to the contractor, via email to ywondwossen@feea.org. The contractor shall determine the employees eligibility and the subsidy amount based on the formula provided in the NRCs Child Care Subsidy Program Model in Attachment 1. The NRC may adjust the total family income limits and percentages.

All full-time and part-time NRC employees are eligible to apply for child care subsidy if they meet the income requirements and use a licensed or regulated child care provider.

Applications may be submitted to the contractor at any time. The contractor shall first award child care subsidy benefits to NRC employees whose total family income (TFI) is Page 4 of 19

31310018P0046

$50,000 or less, before considering requests from employees whose TFI is between

$50,001 and $73,000. When considering requests from employees that are in the same income category, the contractor shall approve the applicant with the lowest TFI before requests from employees with a higher TFI. Review/approvals shall continue in this way until all eligible requests have been filled or until the funds allocated by the NRC to the program have been exhausted, whichever comes first. If all requests are filled and funds remain unexpended, the contractor shall honor all additional requests from new employees or whose TFI qualifies them for the program during the year. The contractor shall advise NRC employees in early April of each year that they must re-apply to the program, submitting their current years income tax forms as proof of income. The contractor shall award a new round of child care subsidy following the same protocol as described above.

As provided in the Act, for purposes of this program, a child is considered to be:

(a) A biological child who lives with the Federal employee; (b) An adopted child; (c) A stepchild; (d) A foster child; (e) A child for whom judicial determination of support has been obtained; or (f) A child to whose support the Federal employee, the employees spouse, or the employees domestic partner makes regular and substantial contributions.

The Act covers the children of Federal employees, excluding contractor employees, from birth through age 12 (under the age of 13) and disabled children through age 17 (under the age of 18). A disabled child is defined as one who is unable to care for himself or herself based on a physical or mental incapacity as determined by a physician or licensed or certified psychologist.

C.3.2 Notification of Applicant and Child Care Provider The contractor shall notify the applicant and child care provider, via email, of the amount of subsidy that each family will receive and the effective dates within 10 working days of receipt of the application. The notification shall also include a statement that the NRC employee may appeal a decision by emailing the NRC Child Care Subsidy Program Coordinator (NRC COR).

C.3.3 Estimated Funding for Subsidy Payments The table below provides an estimate of the total tuition assistance provided by the NRC for the base period of the bridge contract.

Estimated Period of Performance Tuition Assistance Base Period Estimated Total Page 5 of 19

31310018P0046 C.3.4 Ensure Child Care Providers are Licensed/Regulated by State and/or Local Authorities The contractor shall ensure that each child care provider that receives NRC funds for the NRCs Child Care Subsidy Program are licensed and/or regulated by the State and/or local authorities. In doing so, the contractor shall:

a) Require that applications from NRC employees include a copy of their latest license and/or statement of compliance from the appropriate State and/or local authorities from each child care provider who would receive funds under the program.

b) Require that applications from NRC employees include a completed copy of OPM Form 1644 for each provider who would receive funds under this program.

c) Ensure that licensed child care providers are informed that if, for any reason, the provider is no longer licensed and/or regulated by the State and/or local authorities, the provider shall immediately notify the contractor and the NRC employee whose child is enrolled in the child care program. In such cases, the Contractor shall not provide funds to the provider.

C.4 Provide Payment to Child Care Providers The contractor shall request a monthly invoice from the child care provider for each child that receives a subsidy from the NRC, in the amount of the approved subsidy agreement. The contractor shall verify whether/what services were received and provide payment to the applicable providers based on the invoiced amount within 30 days after the date of the invoice.

The contractor shall pay the subsidy directly to the child care provider. The contractor shall:

a) Ensure that the child care provider submits a written invoice, on a monthly basis, to the contractor. The contractor shall require both the child care provider and the parent to certify on the invoice that the services were provided, prior to the provider sending the invoice to the contractor for payment.

b) Ensure that notification of the child care subsidy awards provided to the employee and child care provider are quoted as weekly amounts and that the invoices received from the child care providers are prepared using full week amounts, unless services for the child end in the middle of a particular week.

C.5 Reporting Requirements C.5.1 Monthly Letter Status Report The contractor shall submit a Monthly Letter Status Report (MLSR) to the COR, via email, by the 15th day of the following month. The report shall be transmitted in a format that is readable using Microsoft Word and be sent to the COR as an email attachment. The MLSR shall contain the following information:
