If the child’s family continues to need child care assistance, they must submit a Child Care Assistance Application CC08 form to the Child Care Assistance Office serving their area.

If determined eligible, their benefit start date will be the first (1st) of the third (3rd) month following the protective custody end date or the date the application was submitted, whichever comes last. For example, a child returns to their biological family and the protective custody case is closed effective September 5, 2020. The current authorization is canceled for December forward and re-issued to end November 30, 2020. The child’s family submits a Child Care Assistance Application CC08 form to the Child Care Assistance office on October 22nd, 2020 and is determined eligible. The benefit start date is December 1, 2020.

If the family did not submit the Child Care Assistance Application CC08 form after November 30, 2020, the benefit start date would be the date the application was submitted if they are determined eligible. The family could have a gap in coverage, depending on when the application is submitted. The family is responsible for all child care costs incurred during a gap in coverage.

4140 ALASKA INCLUSIVE CHILD CARE PROGRAM Families participating in the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) through Parents Achieving Self-Sufficiency (PASS) I, PASS II, or PASS III, who have a child, under the age of thirteen (13)years, identified as having a qualifying special need, may be eligible for their provider to receive a special needs supplemental payment through the Alaska Inclusive Child Care Program (Alaska IN!). The supplemental payment is to be used by the provider for any additional costs associated with the inclusion of the child with special needs into their program. When an applying family has identified on their initial Child Care Assistance Application CC08 or a participating family made their Work Services Provider (WSP) case manager aware through a report of change or other contact, that a child younger than thirteen (13) years of age may have special needs and do not have an identified child care provider, they are referred to the Alaska statewide Child Care Resource and Referral Network (CCR&R) to assist in finding a provider.
