second parent and their income, for the new family size, results in a decrease in the family’s co-pay the second parent’s income is included and the change of co-pay made effective the first of the following month. The Participation and Eligible Activity Screens are updated in ICCIS, as applicable; however, in the case of adding a parent, the family’s co-pay would not be increased if the second parent’s income is not counted.

The change to increase the level of care is made effective the month it was reported when the family provides any needed verification by the due date in the Child Care Assistance – Information Needed Notice. Existing Child Care Assistance Authorization documents are canceled and reissued as needed to address the change. See section 4110-6 Changes to an Authorization Document Not Due to a Mistake.

If the family does not provide the required verification the change is not made to their CCAP benefit. The Designee will issue a Child Care Assistance – Notice of Change, indicating the information was reported but required verification was not received to allow for the family’s benefit to be changed and document the action in an ICCIS case note.

4. Second Parent Moves Out of the Family Home A participating family is not required to report when the second parent is no longer in the family home, however, if it is reported the Participation and Eligible Activity Screens are updated in ICCIS. The Designee must evaluate the impact to the family’s co- pay using the same Family Income and Contribution Schedule used when determining the family’s eligibility for the certification period. If removing the parent and their income lowers the family’s co-pay, a new budget and co-pay is created effective the first of the following month. The start date of the family’s certification period must be entered in the Budget and Co-pay screen to ensure the correct Family Income and Contribution Schedule is used when determining the impact on the family’s co- pay.

Existing Child Care Assistance Authorization documents are canceled and reissued as needed to address the change. See section 4110-6 Changes to an Authorization Document Not Due to a Mistake.
