Eligibility and Requirements for CCAP

Headshot of woman with long dark curly hair standing in front of a window.

The purpose of CCAP is to assist families in accessing and obtaining quality child care.  CCAP funds are used to assist families with the cost of child care through payment of full or partial costs. Eligibility for CCAP is based upon the family’s gross monthly income, family size and their ability to meet all technical eligibility requirements.

Who can receive Child Care Assistance?

Parents who have a child under age thirteen (13), or age thirteen (13) through eighteen (18) with a verified special need, and:

  • Are employed; or
  • Are employed at a licensed or certified child care center; or
  • Are enrolled in a full-time educational program or in a certified trade school or accredited college or participate in the SNAP Employment & Training Program; or
  • Are unemployed but participating in an initial job search.  Applications approved on Job Search are given three (3) months of eligibility to locate work.  (Can be used once in a twelve (12) month period); or
  • Are a teen parent attending elementary, middle, or high school or pursuing a GED in a classroom setting; or
  • Are a KTAP recipient who needs child care while they participate in Kentucky Works; or
  • Have a Protective/Preventative Service case needing care.

During the CCAP application interview, technical eligibility will be reviewed, and verifications will be requested by Family Support staff.

 Verifications requested will include but are not limited to:

  • Ask to view and copy documentation of the birth dates of children for whom benefits are requested.
  • Ask to view and copy proof of applicant’s identity.
  • Request social security numbers for all case members.
  • Request proof of citizenship or legal status of child if not established by birth verification.
  • Verify residency and household composition
  • Request verification of child’s special need for a child aged thirteen (13) through eighteen (18).
  • Verify all sources and amounts of earned and unearned income
  • Explain all the parent rights and responsibilities, including the copay and overages.
  • Help in locating or choosing a child care provider.

If the parent does not have all verifications at the time of the interview, the case will remain in a pending status for thirty (30) days to allow the parent time to return the paperwork. The client must meet all technical eligibility requirements established by DCC to receive services.  If the application is approved for benefits, the certification is valid for twelve (12) months if the family continues to meet the technical eligibility requirements of the program.  If verifications are not returned within thirty (30) days, the case will automatically deny.  Within thirty (30) days, a case will either become approved or denied.

“As required by 910 KAR 2:060, the Guardianship Unclaimed Funds Registry is established and maintained to provide notice to the public for potential claims. In this lesson, we’ll review the basics of the Guardianship Unclaimed Funds Registry, as well as the processes for giving public notice, making a claim, dispute resolution, and disbursement.”

If an individual passes away and their remaining estate totals under $10,000, the remaining unclaimed funds are submitted to the registry for posting.

A designated Fiduciary staff member maintains and administers the registry.

Funds in the registry may be claimed by a creditor, heir, or beneficiary.

After 1 year on the registry, all unclaimed funds are deposited in the Guardianship Trust Fund to provide funding to indigent individuals under state guardianship.
