When the expense is required to obtain the care, and if the qualifying person has actually received that care, indirect expenses are reimbursable.  Indirect amounts are incidental to the care of the person but are not optional.  Note: Submit the indirect expense along with the expense for the actual care in order to receive reimbursement.  Examples include but are not limited to: agency fees; application fees; hold-the-spot or placement fees; and deposits.

When the expense is not required to obtain the care or if the qualifying person has not yet received the care, indirect expenses are not reimbursable.  For example: activity fees; you pay to run a background check on a potential provider but the check is voluntary and not required by an agency.
