Verifications Provided Timely

If verifications are provided within the 90 day grace period, and the household remains eligible for CCAP based on all other eligibility criteria, the household is then authorized an 18 month eligibility period.

Verifications Not Provided Timely

If verifications are not provided within the 90 day grace period, the case must be closed at the end of the month the grace period ends.

If the family reapplies for CCAP and self-certifies homelessness after the initial denial, the household is now subject to all regular CCAP requirements.

Example: A household applies for CCAP and self-certifies homelessness on July 10th. The household is determined eligible for four months on July 13th without providing required verifications. Eligibility is effective July 1 through October 31st. The household has 90 days from the date of application (July 10th) to submit required verifications (October 13). The household does not provide the required verifications. An 18 month eligibility period is not authorized and the case remains closed. The household reapplies for CCAP on November 25. Since the household did not provide the required verifications during their initial 90 day grace period, the household is now subject to all regular CCAP requirements and will not be approved for another four month eligibility period. On December 10, the household provides all required verifications for eligibility. The household is determined eligible for an 18 month eligibility period.
