5. Name Change When a parent reports they or one (1) of the children of the family have had a name change the family must provide documentation supporting the change to the Designee. The Designee will forward the documentation to the CCPO Policy mailbox at: dpaccp@alaska.gov using subject heading: Name Change. The CCPO Eligibility and Benefits Staff will coordinate with other Division of Public Assistance (DPA) Staff, as needed to complete the name change in ICCIS.

Upon completion of the name change, the CCPO Eligibility and Benefits Staff will notify the Designee. The Designee must cancel any existing Child Care Assistance Authorization documents and reissue them reflecting the changed name(s).

4120-1 F. PASS II OR PASS III ELIGIBLE ACTIVITY ENDS When a PASS II or PASS III parent reports their eligible activity is ending or has ended, the Designee must inquire if the job loss or participation in an education or training activity is temporary. If a family reports a job loss and intends on or is actively pursuing new employment the change is considered temporary. Temporary loss of employment or participation in an education or training activity does not impact the family’s eligibility for program participation as long as the family intends to resume an eligible activity within three (3) months. The family’s benefit (budget and co-pay and authorized unit of care) would remain unchanged.

1. Parent Reports New Eligible Activity When the parent reports a change of eligible activity, the Designee will issue a new Child Care Assistance - Notice of Change to the family. The family’s Child Care Assistance Authorization document(s) will only be revised if the family’s unit of care needs to be increased or the family’s co-pay is reduced based on the new activity. If the Child Care Assistance Authorization document is canceled and re-issued, copies of the previous authorization(s) are to be stamped “canceled,” initialed, dated, and mailed to the family and provider along with the re-issued documents.
