g. Availability of Other Child Care Resources

Payments shall not be made for the hours the child attends school, home schooling or other academic programs, or for the hours the child attends an after-school program or other state, federal or privately funded program for which the parent does not incur a fee.

If the family receives a direct subsidy or funds for child care expenses from a source other than CCAP, including support payments from a non-custodial parent earmarked specifically for child care, this funding shall be applied first as payment toward the approved cost of care as determined in subsection 17b-749-13 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. Scholarships, Pell grants and other awards provided directly to students shall be exempt and shall not be applied toward the approved cost of care.
