_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DIVISION OF WELFARE AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES Child Care Policy Manual • Current utility statements/receipts (electric, gas, telephone, cable, etc.) as long as the customer’s name and current physical address are listed on the document. • Current statement from non-relative landlord not living in the home. • Valid Nevada Driver’s License or Department of Motor Vehicles ID Card with current physical address. • Current employer's statement or records (e.g. customer’s physical address listed on pay stub or Employment Verification form). • Valid foster parent license. • Current CPS placement letter as long as the placed children are still in the home. Exception: For timely reapplications, if the household has not moved since the previous application, the verification of residency used with the previous application may be used as verification for the current application. Exception: Households who meet the definition of a “Priority Population” will be allowed up to 90 calendar days to provide verifications that are not readily available or easily obtainable. 218.2 Protected Address for Domestic Violence Victims State law, NRS 217, allows victims of domestic violence to protect their location by applying for a fictitious address through the Secretary of State Office's Confidential Address Program (CAP). Anyone requesting to apply for this protection is referred to their local community domestic violence advocacy group. The local advocacy group Child Care staff will explain CAP and complete a domestic violence assessment. When advocacy group Child Care staff determines CAP is appropriate for the victim, they assist the victim in completing the application process and forward the application and a referral to the Secretary of State's Office. When an advocacy group has submitted a CAP application to the Secretary of State's Office or a victim has been approved for CAP, the Child Care office must not require the person to provide their actual physical address. Persons pending a determination for CAP may use an alternative address (i.e. friend, relative or shelter address). Victims of domestic violence approved for CAP can use the fictitious address assigned by the Secretary of State's Office. The Secretary of State's Office verifies Nevada residency; therefore, the Child Care office does not require residence verification for individuals who have applied or been approved for CAP. 218.2.1 Verification of Confidential Address Program (CAP) The Secretary of State’s Office verifies Nevada residency; therefore, the Child Care and Development Program (CCDP) office does not require residence verification for individuals who have applied or been approved for CAP. If the customer has been approved for CAP, request a copy of the letter from the Secretary of State’s Office for the case file. At reapplication, the customer’s statement can be accepted to verify CAP status is still current. If the customer is pending a CAP approval, request a statement from the domestic violence advocacy group to verify the pending CAP application. If verification is received showing the actual physical address, the case manager must notate the details such as the household composition, move in date, etc., but it must not include the actual physical address. To conceal the customer’s location, the actual physical address must not be maintained anywhere in the case file or computer system. 218.3 Homeless 200- Non-Financial Factors of Eligibility [10] MTL 07124 July 1, 2024
