b. Selection from the Wait List
As funding becomes available, the CCAP administrator shall select families from the wait list beginning in order of the highest priority group. The family’s application shall be processed in accordance with the requirements of section 17b-749-09 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. If the program is not opened to all families within a particular priority group or groups, the CCAP administrator shall select families based on the date of the original application upon which assignment to the wait list was based. Selection from the next lower category may begin only after all families in the higher priority categories have been given an opportunity to participate.
Families shall be notified of their selection from the wait list, of any required actions and the specified time frames for completing the actions. The CCAP administrator shall have the option to specify the effective date of initial eligibility based on funding or other administrative considerations. If a date is specified, the family shall also be notified of the effective date.
The parent shall have a minimum of fifteen days to respond in writing to the notice of selection from the wait list. The family shall be denied if the parent does not respond timely.
Families selected from the wait list may be required to submit a new application and updated verification of family circumstances. Applications of families selected from the wait list shall be processed in a manner identical to applications not assigned to the wait list.
