PARENT ELIGIBILITY FOR FAMILIES FIRST (FF)
CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE
|
|
|
|
FF certificates will be issued for a period
not to exceed of 12 months. Because
client representatives are in regular contact with parents and work activity
contractors, they are in a position to make changes to child care eligibility
as needed based on compliance with the work requirements or other
circumstances. In two-parent Families First households, if both parents do not have a
work requirement, the second parent will be screened by the client
representative to determine if that
person is “available, capable and appropriate” to provide the child care in
the home. If the answer is “no” to any
of these questions, then a FF certificate may be issued. Parents/caretakers who are exempt from work requirements, with the
exception of Child Only caretakers, illegal aliens and SSI recipients, may
receive child care assistance if they choose to volunteer for work
activities. |
