Several provisions of the current Colorado Child Care Assistance Program rules need to be updated in order to meet requirements of House Bill 18-1335. The changes include:
1. Aligning with statutory changes regarding State-established provider reimbursement rates
2. Establishing parameters for counties’ CCCAP allocation based on their estimated eligible population multiplied by the appropriate reimbursement rate, as well as outlining other factors in alignment with HB1335
3. Establishing a State-set income eligibility level for all families at initial eligibility determination
4. Clarifying the process for the creation of wait lists and enrollment freezes
Lastly, general clarification changes were made to the rule in efforts to provide clearer guidance to counties. |

| Comments |
CDHS holds two public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule packet. The initial hearing allows the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule. The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final adoption of the proposed rule. Please visit CDHS State Board website for meeting dates. https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdhs-boards-committees-collaboration/state-board-human-service |
