A CCAP agency must allow a 12-month reporter or schedule

licensed child care center within 15 days, the CCAP agency must terminate the
12-month reporter's child care authorization with a 15-day adverse action
notice and suspend the 12-month reporter's eligibility until the CCAP agency
receives Verification that allows the CCAP agency to authorize child care. If a
CCAP agency does not receive a Verification of an authorized activity change,
the CCAP agency must not increase a 12-month reporter's authorized child care
hours until the CCAP agency receives Verification.
C. A CCAP agency must request Verification of
a change when a schedule reporter reports any of the following changes during
the 12-month eligibility period:

to return a Verification to the CCAP agency. If the CCAP agency does not
receive a Verification, the CCAP agency must terminate the schedule reporter's
child care authorization with a 15-day adverse action notice and suspend the
schedule reporter's eligibility until the CCAP agency receives Verification
that allows the CCAP agency to authorize child care. If the CCAP agency

child care hours, the CCAP agency must send the schedule reporter and the child
care provider a 15-day adverse action notice before the reduction in authorized
child care hours is effective.

change results in an increase in authorized child care hours, a CCAP agency

Subp. 17.
Temporary ineligibility for participants.
A CCAP agency must reserve a family's position under the child
care fund if a family has been receiving child care assistance but is
temporarily ineligible for assistance. A child care assistance participant who
is a student may be temporarily ineligible for a maximum of one academic
quarter or semester as determined by the student's academic calendar at the
educational institution. Any other participant, including an employed
participant, may be temporarily ineligible for a maximum of 90 days. A CCAP

requirements at redetermination in Minnesota Statutes, sections
119B.09 and

but is on an unverified temporary break from the family's authorized activity.
To end a family's temporary ineligibility, a parentally responsible individual
must meet and verify the minimum authorized activity requirements in Minnesota
Statutes, section
119B.10;
B. a family is ineligible for child care
assistance due to increased income from active military service as provided in
Minnesota Statutes, section
119B.09,
subdivision 4a; or
C. a family is
eligible under Minnesota Statutes, section
119B.025,
subdivision 1, paragraph (c), but has not submitted a Verification of
eligibility within the time frame required by Minnesota Statutes, section
119B.025,
subdivision 1, paragraph (d).
Subp.
17a.
Authorization after temporary ineligibility.
A. If a family in temporary ineligibility
becomes eligible for child care assistance, the family's eligibility begins on
the date that the family meets all eligibility requirements. For a family that
is eligible for child care assistance under
Minnesota Statutes, section
119B.025,
subdivision 1, paragraph (c), the family's eligibility begins retroactively
from the date that temporary ineligibility began, or on the date that the
family began participating in an authorized activity, whichever is
later
B. If a schedule
reporter in temporary ineligibility becomes eligible for child care assistance,
a CCAP agency must authorize child care based on the parentally responsible
individual's verified activity schedule.
C. If a 12-month reporter in temporary
ineligibility becomes eligible for child care assistance during the 12-month
eligibility period, a CCAP agency must authorize the same amount of child care
that the family received before the family became temporarily ineligible,
unless the family requests less child care or the family verifies that the
family needs more child care. If a 12-month reporter who is temporarily
ineligible becomes eligible when a CCAP agency approves the 12-month reporter's
redetermination, the CCAP agency must authorize child care based on the amount
of child care that the family needs and the Verification that the family
provides at redetermination. If a CCAP agency determines that a 12-month
reporter is temporarily ineligible at redetermination and on a different date
the 12-month reporter becomes eligible, a CCAP agency must authorize child care
based on the amount of child care that the 12-month reporter needed and
verified at the time that the family was no longer temporarily
ineligible.
Subp. 17b.
Temporary ineligibility of family on waiting list.
A CCAP agency must reserve a family's position under the child
care fund for up to 90 days if a family reaches the top of the basic sliding
fee waiting list but is temporarily ineligible for child care assistance. In a
CCAP agency's child care fund plan, the CCAP agency must specify whether the
agency reserves positions under the child care fund longer than 90 days for
temporarily ineligible families who reach the top of the basic sliding fee
waiting list and, if so, the amount of additional time that the CCAP agency
will reserve a family's position and the conditions under which the CCAP agency
will reserve a family's position longer than 90 days.
Subp. 18.
Suspension.
A. A CCAP agency must suspend and not
terminate a family's eligibility for child care assistance for up to one
continuous year if
(1) there are temporary
breaks when the family does not need child care assistance ;
(2) the CCAP agency is unable to authorize
child care due to missing schedule Verifications; or
(3) the family does not have an eligible
child care provider .
B.
A CCAP agency must not decrease a 12-month reporter's authorized child care
during the 12-month eligibility period if there is a temporary break or a
change in the parentally responsible individual's employment, education and
training, or employment plan activity, unless the 12-month reporter requests a
reduction in authorized child care hours or requests that the CCAP agency
suspend child care.
C. A CCAP
agency must end a schedule reporter's authorization and suspend the schedule
reporter's eligibility if there is a temporary break in the schedule reporter's
employment, education or training, or employment plan activity and the
parentally responsible individual has no other authorized activity, unless the
parentally responsible individual meets the criteria in part
3400.0110, subpart
10.
Subp. 18a.
Authorization after suspension.
A. If a schedule reporter is no longer
suspended, a CCAP agency must authorize the schedule reporter's child care
based on the parentally responsible individual's verified activity
schedule.
B. If a 12-month reporter
is no longer suspended during the 12-month eligibility period, a CCAP agency
must authorize the same amount of child care that the 12-month reporter
received before the 12-month reporter's suspension, unless the 12-month
reporter requests less child care or the 12-month reporter verifies that the
12-month reporter needs more child care. If a 12-month reporter is no longer
suspended when a CCAP agency approves the 12-month reporter's child care at
redetermination, a CCAP agency must authorize the 12-month reporter's child
care based on the amount of child care that the 12-month reporter needs and the
Verification that the 12-month reporter provides at redetermination. If a
12-month reporter is suspended at redetermination and on another date, becomes
eligible, a CCAP agency must authorize the 12-month reporter's child care based
on the amount of child care that the 12-month reporter needs and that the
12-month reporter verifies at the time that the 12-month reporter becomes
eligible.
