A household that is no longer eligible for the Colorado Works Program shall not be automatically transitioned to Low-Income Child Care if any of the following conditions apply. If a household is not transitioned to Low-Income Child Care for any of the conditions below, the county shall provide timely written notice to the primary adult caretaker or teen parent. 1.

The household is ineligible for the Colorado Works Program and will be at an income level that exceeds eighty-five percent (85%) of the State Median Income (SMI) as outlined in rule section 3.111(H)(1); or 3. If the child has had twenty-two (22) or more unexplained absences from authorized care within the last thirty (30) days prior to the household being determined ineligible for Colorado Works and two (2) failed documented attempts to contact the adult caretaker or teen parent have been made within the thirty (30) day period. B.

No additional verification shall be required until the household's twelve (12) month re-determination for Low-Income Child Care. Child citizenship status, age, and identity must not be re-verified at the time of the Low-Income Child Care re-determination if it was previously verified using the Colorado Works Child Care Referral Form.
