I love the convience of the machine and love not doing billing..But this machine is also a pain in my butt !! I have one place to put it and of course it is right in my living room..It is in the way and the little one's try to push buttons when Im not looking...I just wish I could make that sign in/out area look better !!

I do not have a plug in and a telephone outlet anywhere convient! (like across the room from each other. So, I have to plug it into the telephone outlet when mom logs them in, then I unplug it and same at night. Not convient. But, I love the POS system and the checks just being deposited! So much better than in the old days.

It looks like a typically credit card machine that is used for subsidized families to scan in and out for attendance and payment processing. Ohio went to these machines August of 2011 instead of paper records for county low income benefits.

There are great and I love not doing paperwork..but the machine is a reg. size credit card swipe machine so you have to have it plugged in and with a phone cord..SO makes it hard to find a great spot to put it since you need the phone line.

I wish we had something like this in place. I don't take the subsidy kids anymore (well I don't have any right now) but that system sure would have been nice!

Anyway, I would probably eat the expense (write off?) of having a phone jack installed in my front entry, or wherever your dcp's come in, if I had this type of machine.
