Facility/Business Frequently Asked Questions
Will the parents I refer have to pay any fees to get started?
-No! There is a $125 annual membership fee, but it is NEVER required up-front for any parent even though their bill can be addressed, on their behalf, to be paid to your facility should they become unable to pay!
Is there a limit to the number of times I can refer a parent to you?
-No! Your 1-year membership entitles you to refer the same parent as many times as you need to do so. There is also no limit to the total number of parents to refer within your 1-yr membership!
How much is the Paycare membership for my facility?
-Due to new funding, the fee has been reduced to $125.00/site annual membership! Joining Paycare entitles facilities/businesses to receive an unlimited # of 'Pay incentives' on behalf of an unlimited # of parents, paid directly to their facility or business. [*FREE set-up for facilities]
To begin receiving 'Pay Incentives', facilities can select between:
Starter "Try Before You Buy" which allows your office to 'test' our service before joining! With a 'Starter' Membership, your office will make a single referral of
at least 5 of your parents to our office without making any real membership commitment. All 'Pay Incentives' will be paid to your office as a 'non-member' so payments will be mailed to you and the there will be a 5% per-transaction fee. *To begin as 'Starter', Complete 'Facility/business Membership' Page

Once I join, do my parents also have to be a member?
-Yes! Only Paycare Members can access Paycare 'Pay incentives'
*No Worries! We can get the parent quickly set up with no up-front fees!
We provide the parents a FREE membership card to request repeat assistance!
We also inform the parent that we provide support through their child's high school senior year!
We reward parents for paying their daycare by via 'payment protection' for their other household expenses!
How can Paycare best assure me that I can receive consistent payments from my customers?
-So glad you asked! 1] We requires all members to sign a commitment to pay their bill.
2] We require all members to show 'good faith' by making 2 on-time payments to you before we will provide
'Payment Protection' to them.
3] We require a 'good faith' down payment from your customer which goes to YOU, as their final payment.
4] We go even further by paying up to 100% for YOUR customers who left owing YOU a balance, in the past.
5]Parents are informed that they can receive 'protected payments' on their other bills as long as they pay YOU!
So, you can clearly see that Paycare is quite serious about making sure our business members receive consistent payments.
*Please note: These benefits are not available to "Try Before You Buy" business members.

Do my parents have to repay the fees?
-NO! Parents do not repay our Paycare Program, but they must be responsible for their bill; So, they simply make their payment to you, as normal, up to 12 months to 48-months timeframe which allows their Family to easily move forward as your customer while YOU receive your 'Pay incentive' on behalf of your parents!
For landlords who join, do you replace their current Property Management company?
-NO! Paycare Program does not offer property management services; Instead, we work with your current property management company! Think of us as a type of
"Renter's insurance" that specifically focuses on protecting payments for you and your tenants.
