Universal Citation: LA Admin Code CLXV-503
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. A child is eligible for CCAP if the child:
1.
is in need of child care;
2. is
under age 13, or is age 13-17 and physically or mentally incapable of caring
for himself or herself, as verified by a physician or certified psychologist,
or by receipt of supplemental security income (SSI), or who is under court
supervision;
3. customarily resides
more than half the time with the person (head of household) who is applying for
CCAP. A child is still considered to be residing with the head of household for
up to six weeks of scheduled absences from the home or early learning center,
if there are definite plans for the child to return to the home or early
learning center;
4. is either a
United States citizen or a qualified alien; and
5. is age-appropriately immunized according
to the schedule of immunizations promulgated by DHH, Office of Public Health,
or is in the process of receiving all age-appropriate immunizations, except
that:
a. no child is required to comply with
this Subparagraph if the child or his or her parent submits a written statement
from a physician indicating that immunizations are contraindicated for medical
reasons, or if the child or his or her parent objects to the immunizations on
religious grounds;
b. verification
of a child's age and immunization record may be waived for 90 days from the
date the household is certified as eligible for participation in CCAP, if all
members of the household meet the definition of homeless
provided in §103, as long as all other eligibility requirements provided in
this Section are met.
B. The department shall work with members of the Early Childhood Care and Education Advisory Council to develop a proposal related to the CCAP eligibility requirements and payments for children with special needs by March 2016.
