SEAMLESS ELIGIBILITY FOR FIRST YEAR OF TRANSITIONAL CHILD CARE Child Care Scholarship Program services should be continued in a timely manner without interruption, and in an effort to ensure that there is no break in services for a family moving between TANF child care to the first year of TCC, a child care application from the client will not be required. If the TANF benefit effective date of closure is within 30 days of the processing date, the seamless process can be used. If the TANF benefit effective date of closure is over 30 days, then the client will complete a new child care application and submit income verification. If the seamless TCC case is approved, the child care eligibility staff will determine the effective transitional closure date in in the TANF/SNAP database and close out the TANF child care accordingly. If the effective transitional closure date in the TANF/SNAP database has passed, then closeout the TANF child care effective the first available Monday and insert the new TCC application into the Child Care Scholarship Program database, which will produce an approval/connection letter that will be sent to the client and provider. Child care eligibility staff will call the client and the provider to make them aware of the change in connection.
