month, the Incorrect Payment Preliminary Review Form CC17 is completed for the paid month(s) and submitted to the Child Care Program Office (CCPO). See section 4410 Incorrect Child Care Assistance Program Payment. 2. Native Family Assistance Program Participants Families receiving Temporary Assistance (TA) payments through the Native Family Assistance Program (NFAP) are considered dually eligible for CCA benefits, in that they select which program they apply to have their eligibility determined based on that program’s criteria. A family will not receive child care benefits for coverage from their Tribal organization and the State of Alaska CCAP at the same time during the same month.

A family participating in the State of Alaska CCAP may receive a benefit from NFAP to pay the family’s contribution (co-pay) and/or difference in the provider’s charges and the amount paid by the CCAP on the family’s behalf. If NFAP pays the family directly for their CCAP co-pay and/or difference between the provider’s charges and the amount paid by the CCAP on the family’s behalf, the income must be reported and included in the family’s countable monthly income as unearned income. When the money is paid directly to the family’s child care provider it is not considered income for the family.

Families receiving TA payments through the NFAP are encouraged, but not required, to work with that program to also access child care assistance. The TA payments through the NFAP are included as unearned income in the family’s income when they choose CCAP for their child care assistance needs.
