c. The Designee will, the same day or the nextbusiness day: • Process the submitted Request for PASS I Child Care CC1 or Manual Authorization Request Form – PASS I CC02 by canceling authorization documents to the current providers and reissuing to the previous provider and the new provider as a full or part month based on the number of day units needed to each provider;and • Mail a copy of the new authorization documents and the old authorization stamped “canceled or void” with the date, to the previous provider and a copy of new authorization documents to the new provider.

2. Ten (10) Business Day Written Notice Not Given When the child care provider states the family has not given a ten (10) business day written notice to terminate care, the WSP will advise the family of the family’s responsibility to notify the provider in writing before child care can be authorized to the new provider.

When a participating parent either reports to their WSP they removed their child from the care of their provider without giving the required written ten (10) business day notice, or wants out of the required notice due to a concern with the provider more information is needed. The WSP must obtain information regarding the concern by asking open ended questions such as, “Tell me what happened?” If the parent is vague about what their concern is or reports something that happened “a while ago, last month...” and the child(ren) remained in the providers care, the parent remains responsible to meet the notice requirement and care will not be authorized to a new provider for a start date prior to the required ten (10) business day notice. If the parent describes a situation immediately preceding, (this week, yesterday...) the removal of the child(ren) from the provider’s care indicating a health and safety concern regarding abuse, harm, or serious risk of harm that would be considered a priority level 1, they must report the incident within twenty-four (24) hours of the incident to: the local police;, WSP; and CCAP Designee if the provider is an Approved Relative or Child Care Licensing office responsible for the oversight of a licensed provider. See sections 4340-2 B. Reported Allegation of Abuse, Harm, or Serious Risk of Harm and 4340-2 A. Priority Level 1.

The family must be able to provide verification of the report to local police and the WSP must be able to confirm with the office
