Rule 18-17-8.16 - Licensure Revocation or Closure By MSDH
Current through September 24, 2024
Any child care center closed by MSDH Licensure Department will be immediately closed in the CCPP.
A. CCDF funds cannot be used to pay a child care provider if the license has lapsed at any time. Funds shall be recouped for any lapse in time the license was not valid. If a provider is reinstated by MSDH Licensure Department within the MSDH thirty (30) days from the date of the closure, MDHS will not require the child care provider to submit a new child care provider application, but instead will allow the CCPP status to be reinstated.
B. If the death of a child occurs in a CCPP provider, and the death is determined to be due to a health and safety violation, the child care provider will be terminated from the CCPP upon a final determination of the cause of death. MDHS staff will assist with locating alternate childcare for other CCPP children if needed.
