4. The eligibility worker or case manager will CLIM the eligible child(ren) into the Child Care program and refer the case to JAWS via the CHCS screen in MAVERICS. NOTE: Due to the overnight referral process between MAVERICS and JAWS, A CR01 cannot be processed on the same day the Child Care Program is registered in MAVS.

5. The case manager will process a child care referral (CR01) via the ACRR screen. The child care start date may be entered for each child, if necessary. JAWS will allow the child care start date to be backdated up to 30 days from the current calendar date for a TANF TWP referral, if necessary. NOTE: System edits are in place to prohibit the case manager from entering a child care start date that is greater than 30 days prior to the current calendar date or entering a termination date that is prior to the current calendar date, etc. The DECCD will process the CR01 and mail a child care certificate packet to the parent/caretaker relative. 7. The parent is responsible for returning the completed certificate, along with any other required documentation, to the DECCD within the established time frame. Upon receipt of the completed certificate, the DECCD will activate the certificate. 6. The child care referral (CR01) will be processed through the nightly interface between JAWS and CCPS. The following business day, DECCD will notify the parent and the provider via email that a certificate has been processed. NOTE: If the CR01 record gets “rejected” in the interface, a certificate will not be process by CCPS and notifications will not be sent. In this situation, the record will display on a CCPS error report that is worked daily by DECCD staff.
