process a child care referral (CR01) if child care services need to continue. In this situation, the case manager must review the child care referral history to determine the correct child care start date to enter on the ACRR screen to ensure there is not an interruption in child care services or provider payments. EXAMPLE: On July 10 the case manager becomes aware that the TANF case will possibly close effective July 31 in JAWS. The case manager processed a termination on July 10, terminating all children effective July 31. The TANF case reverts back to open on July 20, prior to the termination date of July 31. The case manager will process a CR)# to void the termination and continue child care services.

The DECCD staff may also take action to terminate child care assistance in the following situations:

• Upon request by the parent. • When a parent is found to be out of compliance with child support enforcement requirements. • Non-payment of co-payment fees which may result in suspension from the Child Care Payment Program for a one-year period. • When a child reaches the age requirement. • When a parent provides fraudulent information which may result in ineligibility for a one-year period. DECCD may elect to permanently disqualify parents/caretaker relatives from participation in CCPP in accordance with Section 108.01(1) of the DECCD policy manual.

The DECCD is responsible for providing a two-week notice for the termination of all certificates issued to licensed providers, except in the instance of substantiated provider fraud. The DEA case manager will not increase the termination date to allow for the two-week notice when processing the TCRR screen. Effective 10/29/2014, the JAWS function which allowed a child care termination to be voided became obsolete.
