SPECIAL
SITUATION – DEPLOYED UNITED STATES SOLIDERS
|
|
|
|
Situations in which a parent is temporarily
out of the home due to military deployment (either foreign or domestic) do
not change the child’s eligibility status.
Family members or non-related individuals who have temporary care and
control of the child may continue to receive child care assistance to prevent
a disruption in the care, preserve the slot with the child care provider, and
lessen the anxiety of the deployed parent. ·
This policy
applies to any child care eligibility. ·
Any
redetermination should be postponed until the eligible parent returns from
duty. ·
Any parent
fees determined on the parent’s income will be continued at the same fee. ·
The case
should stay in the parent’s name if possible with the address of any new
location for the child changed if needed. |
