EXAMPLE: If a child is two years old and will be three within six months and the provider of choice is not authorized for the 2-year-old rates, the child can be funded and connected under the 3 year old rates.

The child will remain under the originally approved age group for the duration of the 12-month eligibility.

4.1.7 DUAL FUNDING Dual funding is the process by which multiple children in a family are eligible under different fund sources during the same child care eligibility period. Dual funding situations are rare but are generally used when one child in a family is eligible for special needs child care and one or more other children are eligible under another funding source. Dual funding applies to a family with multiple children only and cannot be used to add more than one fund source for the same child. It is the responsibility of the person determining the most recent eligibility to process the case as dual funded. EXAMPLE: Child 01 may be eligible under Special Needs and child 02 may be eligible under Strong Start – 85%. 4.1.8 NOTICE OF CONNECTION TO A CHILD CARE SCHOLARSHIP PROVIDER Once the client has been connected to a particular child care provider, an Authorization/Connection Letter is mailed to the client and the selected child care provider. The letter includes the following: o Client name and last four digits of the SSN o Authorization period (start and stop dates) o Name of child to receive the service o Assessed fee, if applicable o Type of care o Number of weeks authorized.
