Changes to case closures
Starting May 1, 2025, CCAP has made the following changes:
Child Care Assistance cases will no longer be closed if the Department loses contact with a family. Instead, payments may be temporarily suspended if mail is returned and the family cannot be reached.
Child Care Assistance cases will no longer be closed based on request, however any provider associations will be closed. This will allow families easier access to receive CCAP payments during their prior approval period if their situation changes without having to reapply for the program.
These changes have been made to comply with federal requirements.
