  • Name of child whose CDA was used

  • If payment is made for the child’s sibling:

    • name of the sibling; and

    • whether the sibling is a brother or sister

  • Amount deducted from or refunded to the CDA

  • Purpose of payment or refund

  • Transaction date of payment or refund


The records and supporting documents shall be maintained in a format which can be retrieved for checks and verification by MSF.
