Allowable Activities for Homeless Households 400-28-38-10
(Revised 4/1/21 ML 3605)
Households may be participating in an allowable activity; however, they may self-certify their allowable activity and the number of hours they are participating in their allowable activity, if they are unable to provide income and hours verification during the grace period to provide verifications.
Self-certified income is used to determine the household’s co-pay for a one month eligibility period. Self-certified income is budgeted the same as other CCAP cases. Refer to Converting Income 400-28-70 and Budgeting for the Child Care Assistance Program 400-28-75.
Homeless households are subject to all allowable activity requirements per policy at Allowable Activities 400-28-55-05, with the following exceptions:
- Homeless households can be approved for CCAP for activity search at time of application and review. Activity search may also include activities required to find housing. When a homeless household applies and only has activity search as an allowable activity, up to 15 hours per week (part time level of care) can be approved for the caretaker. Travel and break time hours are not allowed.
In households with two caretakers, if one caretaker is in an allowable activity and the other is not, the case can be approved for a one month eligibility period and the caretaker without an allowable activity will be allowed 15 hours of allowable activity per week.
If neither caretaker has an allowable activity, both can be allowed up to 15 hours of allowable activity per week.
The schedule of the caretaker(s) must be compared to the schedule of the child as per policy at ‘Determining the Level of Care 400-28-80-50’. The lesser of the hours when all schedules are compared will be approved. The household may self-certify all schedules of all household members during the grace period.
