SUSPENSION OF CHILD CARE |
|
|
|
At the point the DHS caseworker/client rep
takes action on a case that will authorize closure of the Families First cash
case, child care eligibility will be suspended. The suspension effective date will be equal
to the expiration date of the adverse action period; 10 calendar days from
the date the case was closed on the eligibility and case management system
(begin the count with the day following the mailing date of the notice). If the 10th day falls on a
weekend, or a holiday, the adverse action period will be extended until the
next working day. Once the child care
specialist receives the suspension notification, he/she will send written
notice of suspension to the participant and the child care provider. Example:
The DHS caseworker/client rep takes action to close the Families First
case on 7/24/07 due to the participant’s failure to show for a renewal
appointment. The closure is authorized
in the eligibility and case management system on 7/24/07, with a closure
effective date of 8/31/07. The
eligibility and case management system mail date is 7/25/07. The DHS caseworker/client rep enters the
date of 8/6/07 as the suspension date in the eligibility and case management
system for the FF child care. Exception: Do
not suspend child care if the participant is currently employed. For cases in which the participant is
employed, the child care will have an eligibility end date that corresponds
with the effective date of Families First closure. This will allow the participant to continue
to receive child care uninterrupted while they move to TCC. |
