Children for whom Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) benefits are being requested must verify their age. If age for a child is requested and is not verified, that child is not eligible for CCAP. If at a later date verification of age is provided for the child, the child’s eligibility for CCAP begins the month the verification of age is received and all other eligibility criteria is met.

The caretaker is not subject to the age requirement. A child included in the CCAP case as a household member for whom assistance is not being requested does not need to verify their age. However, if at a later date, CCAP is requested for that child, verification of age must be provided before eligibility for the child can be determined.
