Child Care Assistance Program Policy Manual Issued 08/2022 Amount of overpayment 14.6 Sometimes the family became eligible again after the period of ineligibility. The time when the family was again eligible begins with the date they met the eligibility requirement(s) that previously made them ineligible. . Assess an overpayment for the period of ineligibility. Examples Examples of ineligibility due to exceeding applicable income limits: • 47% SMI: if a family was later found to be over 47% at application but continuously received child care assistance including a period of time the family went under 47% SMI, eligibility would begin and the overpayment would end when family income went under 47% SMI. • 67% SMI: if a family was later found to be over 67% at redetermination but continuously received child care assistance including a period of time the family went under 67% SMI, eligibility would “resume” and the overpayment would end when family income went under 67% SMI. • 85% SMI: if a family was later found to be over 85% SMI during 12-month eligibility period but continuously received child care assistance including a period of time the family went under 85% SMI, eligibility would “resume” and the overpayment would end when family income went under 85% SMI. Example of ineligibility due to a requirement other than exceeding the applicable income limit: It is discovered at redetermination that the parent did not report a permanent end in activity that occurred on June 1. The parent did not have another activity until October 1. The family was eligible for Extended Eligibility from June 1st through August 31. The family was not eligible from September 1 to September 30. The family established eligibility on October 1. An overpayment is assessed from September 1 to September 30.
