4420-3 PENALTIES FOR AN INTENTIONALPROGRAM VIOLATION When an Intentional Program Violation (IPV) has been determined by way of an Intentional Program Violation Hearing Decision, signed Waiver of an Intentional Program Violation Hearing, or court order, the applicable penalty is imposed.

The penalty imposed is for a specific person and for specific dates regardless if the family or provider continues Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) participation.

If a family or a provider receives a penalty or is disqualified to receive child care assistance benefits or payment for benefits, by a hearing officer, by consent, or by a court under this section, the disqualification or penalty period begins on the date specified in the court order or relevant document. If a family or provider receives a penalty or is disqualified by a hearing officer, by consent, or by a court that has not specified the date for initiating the penalty or disqualification period, the penalty or disqualification period begins on the first (1 st) day of the second (2 nd)calendar month following the date of the court order or other relevant document.

If a family or provider closes their CCAP case either before or after a finding of an IPV, the Child Care Program Office (CCPO) will check the debar box in the Integrated Child Care Information System (ICCIS) and enter a case note identifying the timeframe applicable to the IPV. The timeframe runs regardless of the family’s or provider’s program participation.

If the family or provider reapplies the Designee must review the case notes and if the family or provider is otherwise eligible, request the CCPO to remove the debarment to allow benefits to be issued with the applicable penalties applied for any months remaining in that penalty timeframe. See sections 4420-3 A. Family Penalties for an Intentional Program Violation and 4420-3 B. Provider Penalties for an Intentional Program Violation.
