Provider
Portal: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
March 3, 2010
Q: What if I do not know my User ID?
A: Your user ID is in the letter you received from ODJFS that contained login
information. Your user ID has a prefix of CCP to help identify it. If you do not
have your user ID or CCIDS Provider Portal Instructions sent in the information
letter from ODJFS, call the CCIDS Help Desk at 1-877-302-2347
Q: What if I do not know my password?
A: The initial password was supplied to you in your CCIDS Provider Portal
Instructions information letter. If you do not have this letter, please contact
the CCIDS Help Desk at 1-877-302-2347. If you have previously changed your
password but cannot remember it, please see the question below titled "I am not
able to use my old password, how do I reset my password?".
Q: What are the password requirements?
A: A new password must be at least 6 characters long but less than 20
characters/numbers. A password becomes more secure if you use a mixture of
characters and numbers and also mix upper and lower case characters. The
passwords are case sensitive. So for example a password of "h169P24x", contains
numbers, lower case letters, and uppercase letters so it is more secure than a
password that is only lower case letters such as "aberstiou".
Q: How do I change my password?
A: Please follow the steps below to change your password :
Sign in to the Child Care Provider Portal.
On the Home Page, select the Change Password link.
Enter Current Password.
Enter your new password in both the New Password and Confirm New Password
fields.
Click Change Password button.
A confirmation email will be sent to the email address that you provided on your
Bank Information or Rate Information form.
Q: I am not able to use my old password, how do I reset my password?
A: Please follow the steps below to reset password:
Go to Child Care Provider Portal Login Page
Select the "Forgot my Password" link.
Enter your user ID and E-mail address.
Click the Mail Me a New Password button.
You will receive an E-mail specifying your new password.
Q: I never received an email after requesting a new Password?
A: The child care provider portal must have a valid email address saved in the
system before it can send you confirmation emails. Your email gets saved in the
system when you submit a Rate or Banking Information form using the CCIDS
Provider Portal. If you previously submitted a Bank Information or Rate
Information form but did not receive a confirmation email for updated passwords,
you may have incorrectly entered your email address on the Bank information or
Rate Information form. If you cannot get either your old password, or the one
you think you changed it to working, you should try requesting a new password
again (see the "What if I do not know my password?" question above) and if that
does not work, please contact the CCIDS Help Desk at 1-877-302-2347
Q: Will my password expire?
A: No.
Q: My provider information is incorrect, how do I change it?
A: You may update and resubmit the Rate Information Form or the Banking
Information Form to update your E-Mail address. To update other demographical
information, you must contact the County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS)
or your state licensing specialist.
Q: Can I set up multiple accounts for one provider?
A: This is a enhancement planned for this website in the future.
Q: I still can't access my account,what should I do?
A: If using the self-service password reset link (it is the "I forgot my
Password" on the login page) does not allow you to access the portal, please
contact the CCIDS Help Desk at 1-877-302-2347.
