The Eligibility Office will be notified of a child care provider’s failure to comply with Provider Eligibility Standards. Eligibility Specialists must identify if there are vouchers assigned and send a Notification of Denial / Revocation to the Applicants/Co-Applicants within three (3) business days of receipt to ensure adequate notice is given regarding the status of their current child care provider. Case notes should be entered of notice sent.

The eligibility software system will automatically move children assigned to an ineligible provider to pending provider effective the Sunday following the effective date of the Notice of Order.

PROVIDER SEARCH EXTENSION POLICY: If an Applicant or Co-Applicant is unable to locate a CCDF Eligible Provider, they may make a written request for a thirty (30) day provider search extension. Child care will not be paid during the provider search extension.
