Child Care Assistance Program Policy Manual Issued 08/2021 Transition Year (TY) 4.3.6 Transition Year ending If BSF funds are available Once families complete their 12 months of Transition Year eligibility, if your agency has Basic Sliding Fee funds available, approve a subprogram switch to BSF. See Chapter 4.3.12 (Basic Sliding Fee). If BSF funds are not available If your agency does not have BSF funds, approve a subprogram switch to Transition Year Extension. See Chapter 4.3.9 (Transition Year Extension). Add them to your Basic Sliding Fee waiting list as Priority Five. See Chapter 4.3.12.9 (BSF priorities). Transition Year families must be placed on the waiting list and should be reported on the waiting list the date their Transition Year period ends. Their effective date for the waiting list is the date they first became eligible to apply for Transition Year. If a Transition Year family moves to a new county, the family’s effective date for the waiting list in the original county shall transfer with the family. If a Transition Year family is eligible for Transition Year child care but does not need child care for a period of up to one year, the family retains their effective date for the waiting list and is added to Priority Five of the waiting list at the end of their transition year.
