At time of application, if need has been determined for a child for the prior month only, the child can be added to the 1-month certificate, but would not be added to the 6-month certificate.

 

For a new application or in an ongoing case, in order for a child to be included on a certificate, the child must have a child care need for the current month or the month following the current month while the caretaker(s) is participating in an allowable activity. If a child does not have a child care need for the current month or the month following the current month, the child cannot be included on the certificate.

 

Once need is established for a child and the child is included on the 6 month certificate, the child will remain on the certificate for the remainder of the certificate period.

Note: Need must be established prior to adding the additional hours for school age child.
