The Office of Administration requires all vendors (including child care providers contracted to receive subsidy payments) to register in the new “MissouriBuys powered by MOVERS” system. This registration was requested to be completed no later than June 30, 2025, to ensure there would be no delays in child care subsidy payments. We are still finding that approximately half of our subsidy contracted providers have yet to register at all. The Office of Childhood (OOC) has created a new Subsidy Payments document to explain how to register. If you have not completed registration, please use this document to register immediately to avoid delays in subsidy payments.

• Be sure to follow the appropriate steps on this document based on whether you are a new subsidy provider or existing subsidy provider, as there is an additional step needed for new subsidy providers.
   
• You will receive a Supplier ID number after completing the MissouriBuys powered by MOVERS registration. This Supplier ID number is being entered into the Child Care Data System by OOC for testing of the new MOVERS system for payments before going live.
   
• If you have already registered or are in the process of registering for MissouriBuys powered by MOVERS, please be sure to add your W9 and your banking information so your payments are not held up in the payment system. If you registered and were “spend authorized” but did not add your banking when you registered, please contact your subsidy team members at CCpayments@dese.mo.gov or OOC Finance at childhoodinvoices@dese.mo.gov to get instructions on how to add your banking information. Please note, the requirement to have current banking information in your account is found in your subsidy terms and conditions.
