If the receiving county has a wait list at the time of re-determination, a family may be placed onto that county’s wait list provided they are not a part of the county defined target populations. HH. Counties shall respond to requests for information or assistance from other agencies within five (5) business days. II. Counties must review and take action on current re-determinations by reviewing for completeness; approving or denning the re-determination; and providing timely written notice to the adult caretaker(s) or teen parent(s) of approval, or of missing verifications, no more than fifteen (15) calendar days from the date the re-determination was received by the county. The county must notify the adult caretaker(s) or teen parent(s) in writing that they have fifteen (15) calendar days from the date the notice is mailed to provide the required missing verifications. If verifications are not received within the fifteen (15) day noticing period, the re- determination will be denied. JJ. Whenever possible in processing re-determinations of eligibility for adult caretaker(s) or teen parent(s) currently receiving Low-Income Child Care, counties shall use information that is already available in other sources to document any verification including citizenship, age, and identity if the adult caretaker or teen parent’s declaration is inconsistent in accordance with rule section 3.125(Y). KK. Counties shall reduce parent fees by twenty percent (20%) of the regularly calculated parent fee when a household utilizes a quality child care provider rated in the top three levels of the Department’s quality rating system. For households utilizing multiple child care providers, only one child care provider is required to be in the top three quality levels for the reduced parent fee to apply.
