CODE OF COLORADO REGULATIONS 8 CCR 1403-1 Colorado Child Care Assistance Program

60 B. Parent fees shall be reviewed at re-determination. An adjusted parent fee will be based on an average of at least the past thirty (30) days gross income or a best estimate of anticipated income in the event of new employment. Unless, on a case-by-case basis, the prior thirty (30) day period does not provide an accurate indication of anticipated income, in which case a county can require evidence of up to twelve (12) of the most recent months of income. The adult caretaker(s) or teen parent(s) may also provide evidence of up to twelve (12) of the most recent months of income if they choose to do so if such evidence more accurately reflects the adult caretaker or teen parent’s current income level. The fee change shall be effective the first full calendar month after the change is reported and verified, and timely written notice is provided. C. For adult caretaker(s) or teen parent(s) whose children are enrolled in Head Start or Early Head Start, counties must extend re-determination of eligibility to annually coincide with the Head Start or Early Head Start program schedule. These households are still responsible for notifying the county of any changes that may impact eligibility. 3.114 TERMINATION OF LOW-INCOME CHILD CARE SERVICES A.

Adult caretaker(s) or teen parent(s) is no longer a resident of the state; 3. Adult caretaker(s) or teen parent(s) is not involved in a low-income eligible activity and their job search period has expired; 4. Adult caretaker(s) or teen parent(s) who are employed or self-employed and do not meet federal minimum wage requirements outlined in rule section 3.111(G) are not considered to be in a low-income eligible activity;
