When an ongoing Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) case is receiving TANF, Diversion or Crossroads and that program is closed, the CCAP case is changed from Waived Co-pay to Co-pay the month following the month the TANF case closes. Since the CCAP case is now Co-pay, income must be used to determine eligibility.

 

If all gross income from the final month of TANF, Diversion or Crossroads is available to the recipient, the income reflects a full month’s income and the caretaker does not anticipate any changes, that income must be verified.

• If the caretaker provides the verification in the allotted timeframe, that income must be used for all remaining months of the certification period.
• If the caretaker does not provide the verification in the allotted timeframe, the case must be closed.

 

If all gross income from a specific source is not available to the recipient from the final month of TANF, Diversion or Crossroads, the income from the specific source for the month prior to the final month of TANF, Diversion or Crossroads must be obtained. If that income reflects next month’s income and the caretaker does not anticipate any changes, that income must be verified.

• If the caretaker provides the verification in the allotted timeframe, that income must be used for the remaining months of the certification period.
• If the caretaker does not provide the verification in the allotted timeframe, the case must be closed.

 

If the caretaker does not anticipate the gross income from the final month of TANF, Diversion or Crossroads or the month prior to the final month of TANF, Diversion or Crossroads to be reflective of the next month’s income, the caretaker must provide verification of anticipated income for the next month.

• If the caretaker provides the verification in the allotted timeframe, that income must be used for all the remaining months of the certification period.
• If the caretaker does not provide the verification in the allotted timeframe, the case must be closed.

 

If all gross income from a specific source from the final month of TANF, Diversion or Crossroads or the month prior to the final month of TANF, Diversion or Crossroads or the month following the final month of TANF, Diversion or Crossroads is not reflective of the income for the remainder of the certificate period, the caretaker must provide verification of anticipated monthly income for the remainder of the certificate period.

• If the caretaker provides the verification in the allotted timeframe, that income is used for the remainder of the certification period.
• If the caretaker does not provide the verification in the allotted timeframe, the case must be closed.
