(CCAP) provider as no care will be authorized prior to the provider’s approval.

It is not considered a reduction of the family’s benefit when canceling an authorization to their current provider effective the day following the last day of care provided. The family remains eligible for the same level of care, however, if the family does not identify their new provider or if their new provider is not approved for CCAP participation, care cannot be issued to that provider. When a new provider is not identified, the Child Care Assistance Authorization document is re-issued to the current/prior provider with the appropriate level of care based on the amount of days the child attended in the last month of care.

1. Ten (10) Business Day Written Notice Given Once the Designee confirms with the family’s child care provider, a ten (10) business day written notice was given and the family has identified their new provider who is approved for CCAP participation, the change can be processed for care to be
