Q: If a household applies for child care subsidy in August (before August 28, 2021) and they exceed income limits using the previous FPL limits but are within income guidelines using the new FPL limits, will these applications be held until August 28, 2021? A: No, applications will be considered based on the information at the time of application. If a household is denied child care subsidy due to being over income before August 28, 2021, they will have to reapply on or after August 28, 2021, unless they have a decrease in income before August 28, 2021. 4. Q: If a household applied for child care subsidy in August (before August 28, 2021) and is denied due to exceeding income limits will they be contacted when the new FPL increases on August 28, 2021? Will they need to re-apply? A: Households that are denied for being over income before the FPL increase on August 28th will not be contacted when the FPL increases. Households will need to reapply after the FPL increase goes into effect on or after August 28, 2021. 5. Q: If an ongoing child care subsidy recipient has an increase in their income and is closed due to being over income at redetermination before the FPL increases, will they need to reapply for child care subsidy on or after August 28, 2021? A: Households will need to contact ACCESSNebraska after August 28, 2021, to determine if they are now within the income limits. If their child care subsidy case has been closed for less than a calendar month they will not need to reapply. If the case has been closed for a calendar month or more they will need to submit a new application. 6.
