11/25/24 Provider Guide Insert (DELC 7492i)
This Provider Guide insert outlines changes to the ERDC 9% Additional Payment form and request process.
As of January 1, 2024, ERDC will pay an additional 9% for an ERDC payment that is processed late.
- For Home Based Providers: A payment is considered late when a legible and completed billing form is processed more than four business days after it was received by the Direct Pay Unit (DPU).
- For Center-Based Providers: A payment is considered late when a legible and completed billing form is processed more than seven business days after it was received by DPU.
Please review and submit the form below to the Direct Pay Unit if you believe your payment meets the required criteria. DPU will review your submission and will issue an additional payment to the provider if the payment is determined to have been processed late.
As of November 2024, there are now three options for submitting the request, and an attestation has been added to the 9% Additional Payment request form to indicate who is completing the form. Options:
- Providers may request the additional payment for themselves
- Providers may request support from DPU to submit the additional payment request
- DPU: 1-800-699-9074 or customerservice.dpu@delc.oregon.gov
- NEW: Licensed Family Child Care Providers (Certified Family or Registered Family Providers) may request support from their Union to submit the additional payment request.
- If you are a licensed family child care Provider, and have questions about your Union rights related to the Additional 9% Payment, including the right to have the Union submit the claim on your behalf, to file a grievance, or your Union right to grieve if your claim for Additional 9% Payment is denied, you may contact your Union representatives at oregonccpt132.stewards@gmail.com

Direct Deposit is optional and it's free. Once it is set up, there is nothing else you need to do unless you make changes to your account information. You may cancel at anytime by sending a written notice to the address listed at the bottom of this form.
If you would like to sign up for direct deposit, complete the form below. If you need support,
contact DPU at 1-800-699-9074. You may send the form to DPU through the mail or scan and email a PDF to CustomerService.DPU@delc.oregon.gov. If you disagree with a decision made by DELC, use this form to request a hearing.
