Child Care Assistance Program Policy Manual Issued 07/2023 Dad later moves out of the home. Since dad did not sign an ADH waiver, he can submit a CCAP application for his own case and receive CCAP if he meets all other eligibility criteria. Dad remains responsible for the overpayment for the time period when he was part of the original CCAP family. Notices and termination Once an IPV or a finding that a family has wrongfully obtained child care assistance has been established, send the Notice of Program Disqualification DHS-3134 (PDF), and if the family’s case is open, send a 15-day notice to end assistance. The disqualification period must be immediately applied allowing for a 15-day notice. See Chapter 12 (Notices). The disqualification is not appealable through an administrative hearing. The disqualification is appealable only through district or appellate court action. The disqualification remains in effect, without possibility of administrative stay, unless the findings are later reversed by a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The effective date of the disqualification period is the later of: • The effective date of the CCAP termination notice OR • The date of the determination. Examples include: - Date of the signed Disqualification Consent Agreement - Date of the signed Administrative Disqualification Hearing Waiver - Date of the Administrative Disqualification Hearing decision or court decision. When an IPV or a finding that a family has wrongfully obtained assistance is established against a family, the penalty period cannot be extended for other violations where fraud was not determined. Agencies may cite overpayments for prior time period(s), if additional violations exist. Keep all records regarding the disqualification in the family’s case file. Include this information if transferring the file to another agency.
