Child Care Assistance Program Policy Manual Issued 06/2020 When to re-determine eligibility 10.3 • Extend beyond 12 months to the end of the school year. CCAP defines the end of the school year as August 31. Workers should not use the last day of classes that parents are scheduled to attend, graduation day, or another date as a placeholder for the end of the school year. Other reasons to extend redetermination dates beyond 12 months A CCAP agency may identify other reasons to extend redetermination dates beyond 12 months as an optional policy in the agency’s county and tribal child care fund plan. For example, an agency may extend redetermination dates to balance out a workload. If this policy is not already identified in the agency’s county and tribal child care fund plan, a plan amendment must be approved before extending redetermination dates beyond 12 months (except if for caregivers under the age of twenty-one attending certain education programs as identified above). Contact your policy specialist if your agency’s county and tribal child care fund plan requires an amendment.
