In-home child care will be allowed and must be approved for the following instances as approved by Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) State Administrator prior to care being provided:

1. If a child’s health would be at risk, written documentation from a health care professional must be submitted to CCAP State Administrator satisfactorily demonstrating the health risk to the child if the child is taken to an outside provider, or
2. For a disabled child, written documentation must be provided to the State Child Care Office demonstrating that the child’s disability is such that taking the child to an outside provider creates an undue hardship.

Note: In-home child care must be paid at federal minimum wage.

A family who chooses in-home care in these situations will be eligible for payment for CCAP based on the same criteria as other families who have out-of-home providers.
