Child Care expenses cannot be paid as a supportive service under Diversion.  However, these expenses may be allowed as a disregard from earned income, or paid through the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP).

 

If the client requests the child care expenses be allowed as a disregard from earned income, the deduction cannot exceed the maximum allowable under CCAP for the Provider Type of 'Center'.

 

If the client requests child care expenses be paid through CCAP, a CCAP application is required before payment may be made, and all CCAP rules apply including licensing and registration requirements. Payment is allowed up to 100% of the charges, up to the maximum allowed based on the child's age and type of setting.
