Limits
This guide publishes no service rate because the exact NOW or COMP code-level schedule was not independently resolved in this build; a published rate would not prove payment, authorization, capacity, or start.
Beyond Childhood’s checklists and prompts are planning aids derived from official sources. They are not official forms, legal advice, eligibility decisions, or guarantees of funding, capacity, quality, or service.
