Certified Days/Hours
A family’s certified days/hours of care (Documented on the Notice of Action & Application for Services) is determined at the time of certification, recertification or upon parent voluntary request. Once a family establishes eligibility & need, they will remain eligible & receive services for not less than 12-24 months.
This means that a child is approved to attend care based on their certified schedule for the entire certification period (12-24 months), unless the parent requests a change.
Beyond reporting income that exceeds the income threshold, there is no requirement to report other changes to eligibility or need.
What this might look like in a program:
Provider Notification
Contractors must provide a written notice to providers on the same day the family Notice of Action is issued.
The notice must be issued electronically or via the United States Postal Services.
Issue provider notice when the following changes occur:
Reimbursement amounts
Certified need (hours of care)
Certified schedules
Rate changes
Increase or decrease to fees
Disenrollment from services
Changing provider
