| Description of Subjects/Issues |
Annually, the Department updates the federal poverty levels and the state median income levels in CHATS (the automated system used by counties to administer CCCAP) to align with each federal fiscal year. These guidelines are used to determine eligibility for families applying to the CCCAP program.
It has come to our attention that the family size is incorrect for each of the income limits posted in rule. We cannot address this error in a memo as the state must adhere to the Administrative Procedure Act, § 24-4-103, which requires the state to address in rule any general standard that is applied to the public (such as income eligibility for child care assistance). |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
Annually, the Department updates the federal poverty levels and the state median income levels in CHATS (the automated system used by counties to administer CCCAP) to align with each federal fiscal year. These guidelines are used to determine eligibility for families applying to the CCCAP program.
An emergency rule package was adopted by the State Board in November 2018 to address an error in the family size in the federal poverty guidelines table. This package proposes to make that emergency change permanent rule per the Administrative Procedure Act, § 24-4-103, which requires the state to address in rule any general standard that is applied to the public (such as income eligibility for child care assistance). |
