4110-7 CHILD CARE PROVIDER RENEWAL OR APPROVAL ENDS DURING FAMILY’S CERTIFICATIONPERIOD When the family’s selected child care provider’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) participation approval ends and/or child care license expires during the family’s certification period the family is notified. Information regarding the family’s selected provider’s CCAP participation dates is included in the approval notice sent to the family and an alert is set in the family’s case in the Integrated Child Care Information System (ICCIS).

The month prior to the family’s provider’s approval end date and/or license expiration date the Designee will issue the Child Care Assistance – Eligible Child Care Provider Needed Notice. The notice advises the family of the provider’s approval end date and care will not be authorized beyond that date unless their selected provider renews participation.

When the child care provider’s renewal is approved during the family’s certification period, care is authorized for the remainder of the family’s certification period based on the level of care determined at the time of application or if a change has been reported that increased the level of care. A notice is not issued when care is authorized after a provider has been approved for renewal as the level of care was already included in the Child Care Assistance Application – Approved Notice or Child Care Assistance Application Notice of Change, whichever one was later. Copies of the newly created authorizations are mailed to the family and to the provider.

The participating family’s case is not closed if their provider does not renew participation, or the family doesn’t provide the name of a new eligible provider as the family remains eligible for their certification period. There may be a period of time during the family’s certification period where care is not authorized due to not having an eligible provider.
