Non-temporary Change in Eligible Activity-Extended Certification Period If the family’s certification period ends prior to the three (3) months of job search, their certification period is to be extended only through the last day of the three (3) month period. Mid-way in the second (2nd) month of the job search timeframe, the family is issued a Child Care Assistance Renewal Notice.

When the family reports employment or beginning an education or job training program and provides verification, changes are made to the family’s benefit only if it reduces the family’s co-pay amount or increases the unit of care needed based on the new activity reported.

If the Designee does not receive a Child Care Assistance Application CC08 the family’s program participation will end at the end of the three (3) month job search timeframe.
