telephone to ask the expected length of time the new individual will reside in the home. When the individual is sixteen (16) years of age or older and the provider states they expect or anticipate the individual to remain in their home for forty-five (45) days or more, in a twelve (12) month period, a background check is needed for the individual.

Within two (2) business days, if unable to reach the provider via telephone and having left a message requesting a return call, the Designee will issue a Child Care Assistance Provider – Information Needed notice to the provider. The notice will request the age of the individual, expected length of time the individual will be in the home and advise the provider of the required background check, if needed. The provider must be given ten (10) days, based on the Adverse Action Calendar, to provide the requested information or their program participation status will be ended the last day of the month with applicable adverse action. The Child Care Assistance Provider – End of Approval Status notice is to be sent, often the same day as the Child Care Assistance Provider - Information Needed notice because the provider must be given ten (10) days notice, based on the Adverse Action Calendar, notifying them that the adverse action will occur. See section 4210 Child Care Assistance Provider Background Check Requirements. If the provider does not complete the actions needed to obtain the required background check(s) by the due date identified in the notices, their status is ended in ICCIS effective the date included in the notices. The Designee must communicate the same day or next business day following the approval status end date with Designee Staff who authorized care for participating families to ensure existing future Child Care Assistance Authorization documents are canceled to this provider. A written ten (10) business day notice to end services is not required from the family or provider prior to authorizing care for the family to a different provider.

The parent of the family and their selected caregiver are the only individuals who are entered into the Staff/HH screen of the provider case in ICCIS.
