For example, the Provider Adjustment page (CCAP) now displays data horizontally rather than vertically. The Overpayment Return page (CCPR) has been divided into two pages. • The Registration Fee page allows users to enter two registration fees per authorization. More details will be provided on the slide that describes that page. • The Child Care Payment System (CCPS) in CARES no longer exists. CCPS is now in CSAW/CCPI.

4. Issuance Navigation ~ Menu • Links will be activated based on the Case, Provider and/or Issuance selected. • The navigation menu gives the user easy access to the various issuance pages. • The links on the menu will be activated for the selected provider/issuance until either the Search by Case, or Search by Provider link is selected. • Search by Case is the same search page used in Authorization Management. • Search by Provider is the same search page used in Provider Management.
