Eligibility for the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) is determined primarily by information supplied by the applicant/caretaker. Certain conditions of eligibility must be supported by conclusive, documenting evidence.

At time of application, review, or when a new member is added to the household, the household is required to provide the following verifications:

Identity of Applicant/Caretaker;

Citizenship for children for whom CCAP benefits are being requested;

Age for children for whom CCAP benefits are being requested;

Caretaker’s association to the child(ren) for whom CCAP benefits are being requested;

Verification of education or training;

Court ordered child support or court ordered spousal support deduction;

All income received by the family, to include all earned, unearned and self-employment income.

Should the applicant/caretaker be unable to obtain the required verifications, the eligibility worker may assist with obtaining the information.

All documentary evidence must be date stamped the day it is received at the human service zone. It is unacceptable to use the date the verifications are scanned into the case file as the date stamp. An electronic date stamp is acceptable as long as it is part of the document and stamped the day the verification is received.
