must send an inquiry to the Child Care Program Office (CCPO) Eligibility and Benefits Team at: dpaccp@alaska.gov to request the PASS program eligibility and PASS I closure date. See section 4000-4 L. Inquiries and Consultation. The CCPO will verify in the Eligibility Information System (EIS) the family’s TA closure date and reason, and PASS II CCA eligibility. The CCPO will document in an ICCIS case note, the family’s applicable PASS II eligibility and timeframes. If the family is not PASS II eligible the Designee will register and process the application as PASS III.

If the family is PASS II eligible the Designee will contact the WSP case manager for the post TA month request. Once care for the post TA month is requested and processed the Designee will register and process the application as PASS II.

TA Closure In Same Month as PASS II or PASS III Application Received If the case closure is the same month as the Child Care Assistance Application CC08 was received, the family is PASS II eligible, and care for the post TA month will be requested.

Depending on the date the Child Care Assistance Application CC08 is received it could span across three (3) different months.

b. TA Closure In Previous Month as PASS II or PASS III Application Received If the TA case closure is prior to the month the Child Care Assistance Application CC08 was received the Designee must determine if a post TA month has been requested for the month following the TA closure. If not requested the Designee must contact the WSP to request the post TA month submission or clarification on why it is not requested.

Once contact has been made with the WSP, the post TA month has been requested, and the authorization issued or the WSP identifies the family’s TA case closed without earnings and is therefore not eligible for PASS II or the post TA month, the Designee is to document the information in an ICCIS case note and copy it to CMS client note.
