Page 126 Iowa Department of Health and Human Services Employees’ Manual Case Maintenance Title 13: Social Service Resources Chapter G: Child Care Assistance June 14, 2024 Reviewing Eligibility ▪ The family has moved out of Iowa. ▪ No eligible children remain in the home. Issue a Notice of Decision: Child Care giving a ten-day notice for a loss of CCA eligibility. See Reporting Changes. Families who were required to meet specific requirements of a priority group at the time of application because of waiting lists (see Application for Placement on a Waiting List) are not required to meet the priority group requirements at review or redetermination. Eligibility continues as long as: ▪ The family meets the need for service and financial guidelines, and ▪ The child needing services is under age 13 or under age 19 with special needs. (See Determining Eligibility.) Procedure: KinderTrack will issue form 470-4377(M), Child Care Assistance Review, to the client 45 days before the end of the certification period. NOTE: If the family needs a Spanish version of the review, form 470-4377(S), this form must be mailed to the family by the worker. KinderTrack will not issue a review form when the certification period is approved for less than 40 days before the review date. For these families, the review form must be mailed to the family by the worker. If the client fails to return the review form, it is not necessary to send a Notice of Decision: Child Care to cancel CCA because the original approval notice provided the beginning and ending dates of eligibility. If the client returns the review form after the effective date of cancellation of CCA, treat the review form as a new application. If the client returns a complete review form along with all required verification and: ▪ The family remains eligible for CCA, issue form 470-4558, Notice of Decision: Child Care, to inform the family and the child care provider of the new certification period and any changes in eligibility. The effective date of changes in eligibility is the first day of the new certification period. ▪ The family is no longer eligible for CCA, but is eligible for CCA Plus, issue form 470- 4558, Notice of Decision: Child Care, to inform the family and the child care provider of the new certification period and any changes in eligibility. The effective date of changes in eligibility is the first day of the new certification period. ▪ The family is no longer eligible for CCA or CCA Plus, but is eligible for CCA Exit, issue form 470-4558, Notice of Decision: Child Care, to inform the family and the child care provider of the new certification period and any changes in eligibility. The effective date of changes in eligibility is the first day of the new certification period.
