Example: The spouse or other responsible adult individual in the home of an individual who is disabled is employed during the day but can care for the children before and after work. If the household does not have anyone else to care for the children, they are ineligible for benefits under this POC. In addition, if circumstances warrant concern for the care and safety of a child a referral must be made to Child Protective Service (CPS) by submitting the CPS & Child Care Licensing Report form. 470.1 Additional Information • A disability is defined as an incapacity or health condition, which severely limits the individual’s ability to care for the child. The household must provide verification from a physician or qualified medical professional verifying the individual’s inability to provide care for the child(ren). • Approval requests for the Disability category must be sent to the CCDP via ccdp@dwss.nv.gov. The CCDP will provide a decision to the appropriate Child Care staff. Child Care eligibility staff or Child Care supervisory staff will update the system with the approval/denial decision. 400-Purpose of Care Categories [6] MTL 01/24 July 1, 2024
