Reporting Requirements Parents and caretakers will be informed The DEA case managers are required to discuss child care policy and procedures with parents/caretaker relatives and inform them that personal responsibility must be accepted to ensure child care services are arranged timely, work program participation is satisfactory, and all reporting requirements are met to avoid an interruption in child care services. Parents and /caretakers relatives will be required to adhere to the reporting requirements of DEA and DECCD. Reportable changes that affect eligibility for and receipt of TWP child care and TCC services will be handled by the DEA case manager. Changes regarding child care providers will be reported to and handled by the DECCD. A child care provider change should be reported to DECCD prior to removing a child from one provider to another, unless extenuating circumstances occur. A change of provider must be reported to the DECCD in accordance with the time frame established by policy. Refer to Change in Providers earlier in this section for additional information. NOTE: If TCC co-payment fees are owed, a TCC certificate may not be issued for the new provider until the fees are paid in full or suitable arrangements are made with the previous provider. Reporting Changes All reportable changes as required by DEA and/or DECCD should be reported according to each division’s policy, or within 10 days of the reportable change. Reportable changes include, but are not limited to the following: 1. Change in Number of Children When TANF child care assistance (TWP or TCC) is needed for a child that was not included on the TANF Child Care Application, MDHS-EA-379, the parent/or caretaker must complete a MDHS-EA-900 supplement to add the child to the TANF case and/or request child care services for the child. The Participant Contact Record (PACR) screen in JAWS should also be used to document the case record accordingly. If the child to be added to the Child Care Certificate Program is not known to MAVERICS, the child must be CLIMed into the Child Care Program and referred to JAWS via the Child Care Summary (CHCS) screen in MAVERICS. The case manager must then process a Referral for Child Care Services (CR01) for the child by selecting the child from the Add Child Care Referral Pop-Up (ACRP) screen. The child added for TCC services may be eligible for the months remaining in the family’s TCC 24- month eligibility period. Note: A child added for TCC services may be eligible for the months remaining in the family’s TCC 24-month eligibility period. ```
