Verifications Provided Timely

If verifications are provided within the 30 day grace period, and the household remains eligible for CCAP based on all other eligibility criteria, the household is then authorized a 12 month eligibility period.

The household may remain eligible for CCAP based activity search if no other allowable activity exists. In these situations, the household will be allowed up to three full consecutive months of activity search starting the first month of a 12 month eligibility period.

Example:

Household submitted an application on September 5th and was approved eligible based on homelessness for a one month eligibility period for the month of September. The household was approved for activity search for a one month eligibility period. The household timely provided all necessary verifications and remains eligible based on all other required eligibility requirements. However, the household’s only allowable activity remains activity search. The household is determined eligible for 12 months starting October and is approved for a maximum of 15 hours per week. The household remains eligible for CCAP at the part time level of care with activity search as the allowable activity for the months of October, November and December.

Refer to policy at ‘Allowable Activities 400-28-55-05’ for processing of activity search as an allowable activity in ongoing cases.

Verifications Not Provided Timely

 

If verifications are not provided within the 30 day grace period, the case must be closed at the end of the month grace period ends.

If the family reapplies for CCAP and self-certifies homelessness after the initial denial, the household is now subject to all regular CCAP requirements.

Example:

A household applies for CCAP and self-certifies homelessness on July 10th. The household is determined eligible for one month on July 13th without providing required verifications. Eligibility is effective July 1 through July 31. The household has 30 days from the date of application (July 10th) to submit required verifications (August 13). The household does not provide the required verifications. A 12 month eligibility period is not authorized and the case remains closed.

 

The household reapplies for CCAP on August 25. Since the household did not provide the required verifications during their initial 30 day grace period, the household is now subject to all regular CCAP requirements and will not be approved for another one month eligibility period. On September 10, the household provides all required verifications for eligibility. The household is determined eligible for a 12 month eligibility period.
