caretaker is employed with a ND licensed child care program with 30 hours a week. CCAP is approved for an eligibility period of 18 months from July through December of the next year.
Example 2: A two caretaker household applies for CCAP in July. An SFN 354 is turned in for one caretaker. The other caretaker is employed and provides income verification. The SFN 354 is reviewed and it is determined that this caretaker is only employed for 20 hours per week. The household must meet all CCAP eligibility requirements as they do not meet the minimum work hour requirement for the CCAP Workforce Benefit.
Example 3: A household is approved under the CCAP Workforce Benefit for an eligibility period of 18 months from July through December of the next year. In October it is reported that the child care program's license has ended October 17th. Starting November, income is evaluated and it is determined the household is over 85% SMI. The CCAP case closes October 31.

6. Terminated Source of Income 400-28-65-25
Income is considered a terminated source of income when the final payment of income is received in the month prior to, the month of, or the month following the month: • The application is received; • The month the review is due; If at application or review the household indicates income has ended from any source, the caretaker must provide verification of the terminated source and the last date it was received. Since income eligibility is determined prospectively, this income would not be used as it is not an ongoing source of income and will not be received during that eligibility period. Note: If verification of the terminated source income and the last date it was received is not provided, the application must be denied or CCAP closed.
