4040-2 B. PASS I FAMILY ELIGIBILITY DATES

WSP must determine: the family’s eligibility dates; the benefit start date; and evaluate the level of benefit for which the family is eligible.

1. PASS I CERTIFICATION PERIOD PASS I CCA family’s certification period is set by the TA eligibility worker. A redetermination of the family’s TA eligibility must be completed at least once a year although the stability of the family’s situation and history of providing complete and timely reports of changes determine the review period. The PASS I certification period in ICCIS will reflect twelve (12) months.

A PASS I family may utilize an individual for child care services even if the individual has not been approved as a child care provider during the first (1st) sixty (60) days of the family’s initial certification period only. The individual providing care for the family must submit at least the information required to establish payment for the sixty (60) day timeframe to the Designee responsible for the provider eligibility in that service delivery area. If this information is not received by the Designee, the family will be responsible for payment to this individual. If the family has used a CCAP participating provider any time during their initial sixty (60) days, they cannot be authorized to a non-participating provider. When a PASS I family has a break in their TA eligibility or certification, they begin a new certification period and may utilize an individual for child care services during the first (1st) sixty (60) days only who has not been approved as a child care provider.

Care will not be authorized to a CCAP participating provider for any period of time beyond the provider’s program approval end date. When the family is using a CCAP participating licensed child care provider, care will not be issued beyond the child care provider’s license expiration date.

2. PASS I BENEFIT START DATE The DPA, Application for Services GEN 50C is the application used for PASS I. There is not a specific CCAP application for PASS I families. The application process is completed by the DPA Field Services eligibility staff who receives the family’s application for TA.
