1. Parents Achieving Self-Sufficiency (PASS)I Family When an In-home Child Care Application CC40 for a family participating in PASS I is denied, the Designee creates an ICCIS case note in the provider’s case. A case note is also entered in the family’s ICCIS case with the “Copy to CMS” and “Alert CMS” boxes checked which automatically enters a case note in the Case Management System (CMS) and notifies the applicable Work Services Provider (WSP) staff.

Authorization documents issued for the PASS I family’s initial authorization period will be honored even if the provider’s application is denied during this timeframe, except when the reason for denial is due to a barrier crime or condition. If the BCP identifies a barring crime or condition for the provider, all existing authorizations are cancelled effective the date of the barring crime notification.

The Designee sets an alert in CMS to notify the family’s case manager.
