When both parents are participating in CCAP, the needs of each parent and child, when in their home, is considered when determining the care to authorize. When both parents live and need child care in the same service delivery area, the maximum care allowable to be authorized for the child is a full month plus a part month, regardless if more than one (1) provider is used. Based on the need, care will be authorized for both parents as a part month or one (1) parent will be issued a full month and the other parent issued a part month.

When parents reside and/or conduct their eligible activity in different CCAP service delivery areas requiring the use of two (2) different providers, the maximum allowable unit of care to be authorized for a child is a full month for eachparent.

Due to the current ICCIS design, it is not possible to authorize a full month for each parent. Designees are to advise the parent and provider receiving the part month authorization of the restriction and the additional coverage will be paid through a Supplemental Payment Request CC06. This is clearly documented in an ICCIS case note and included in the variable section of the Child Care Assistance Authorization document. See section 4110-3 C. Using Variable Language on a Child Care Assistance Authorization Document.

The Supplemental Payment Request CC06 must be completed for each month of the family’s certification period at the time care is authorized. Completed Supplemental Payment Request CC06 forms are submitted to the applicable payment verification staff for processing with the provider’s billing for the service month.

b. Children temporarily in the home due to shared custody arrangements: Children who are temporarily in the home when a parent applies, such as a child visiting during the summer, are included in the family size for the months the child is in the home. The child is included in the participation effective the date they are or will be in the home to allow for the increase to the family size and to authorize care, if needed. The child’s participation is ended effective the date they leave the home. Care should only be authorized for the timeframe the child will be in the home.
