NDAC 75-02-01.3-02

 

A new application is required in the following circumstances:

1. Upon a family's initial request for assistance
2. When a Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) case is in closed, denied or withdrawn status; unless the closed, denied, or withdrawn status was caused solely by administrative error
3. When there is a change in the caretaker
4. TANF cases where child care is needed through the CCAP

Note: If a TANF recipient was using child care as an expense deduction while receiving TANF and the TANF case closes, due to retrospective budgeting the expense deduction was not used during the final two months of TANF. If the recipient needs assistance with child care expenses for the final two months of TANF, the recipient must apply for CCAP no later than the last day of the month following the month the TANF case closed.

5. When a case is closed for no review and the review form was not submitted in the month following case closure, thus resulting in a break in assistance of a full calendar month
