Additionally, to continue participation in the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), the Approved Relative provider applying to become Licensed, must submit a completed Licensed Provider Child Care Assistance Application CC41to the Designee. It may take up to ninety (90) days for a determination to be made on the licensing application. If the Approved Relative provider submits a completed Licensed Provider Child Care Assistance Application CC41 to the Designee prior to licensure, the provider’s rates will be effective the first (1st) day of the full month their license is effective.

For example: An applicant has submitted a complete Licensed Provider Child Care Assistance Application CC41, completed the orientation and participated in an interview. The applicant’s Child Care License is issued effective is 2/1/17. The provider’s rates become effective 2/1/17.

However, if the applicant has submitted a complete Licensed Provider Child Care Assistance Application CC41, completed the orientation and participated in an interview and their Child Care License is issued effective is 2/7/17. The provider’s rates become effective 3/1/17.

When a Child Care Licensing Application packet is received by the CCPO or Municipality of Anchorage (MOA), the Licensing Specialist will set an alert “Licensing App Rcvd” to notify the Designee who will send the provider the Licensed Provider Child Care Assistance Application CC41 for continued participation in the CCAP.

Providers changing their provider type from Approved Relative provider to Licensed provider are required to submit a new application and information for CCAP participation as a Licensed provider and notify the Designee and their participating families and the Designee or CCPO, in writing, thirty (30) days prior to a new rate being charged or paid.

Upon issuance of a Child Care License, the Designee will make an eligibility determination regarding CCAP participation and issue the applicable notice.
