4140-1 ALASKA INCLUSIVE CHILD CARE PROGRAM REFERRAL PROCESS When a family identifies on the Child Care Assistance Application CC08 their child may have special needs, it is to be documented in the family’s case in the Case Management System (CMS) or Integrated Child Care Information System (ICCIS). The Work Services Provider (WSP) or Designee will provide the family with an Alaska Inclusive Child Care brochure and an Application for Alaska Inclusive Child Care CC48.

If the family submits an Application for Alaska Inclusive Child Care CC48 to the WSP or Designee, receipt of the application is documented in the family’s case in CMS or ICCIS and the application is faxed or emailed to the Child Care Program Office (CCPO) the same or next business day. Upon confirmation the fax or email was received and legible, the original is shredded.

4140-2 ALASKA INCLUSIVE CHILD CARE PROGRAM ISSUANCE AND TIMEFRAMES The family and provider must first be approved eligible to participate in the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) for additional funding to be authorized. An Authorization for Special Needs Supplement CC51 will coincide with the family’s CCAP certification period and cannot be authorized for a period in which the family or provider was not eligible for CCAP, or when there is no additional cost tothe provider.

The Authorization for Special Needs Supplement CC51is issued, by the Child Care Program Office (CCPO), based on the family’s CCAP certification period, is provider specific, and always begins on the first (1st) day of a month. If the family changes providers during their CCAP certification period the supplemental funding ends. The family and their new provider must complete the Alaska Inclusive Child Care Program (Alaska IN!) application and eligibility process.
