| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The purpose of CCCAP is to provide eligible households with access to high quality, affordable child care that supports healthy child development and school readiness while promoting household self-sufficiency and informed child care choices. The Department would like to amend the current rule to lower a household’s contribution to the total cost of child care (aka parent fee or co-pay) to the suggested federal benchmark for affordable family parent fees of 7% of countable household income. This change will positively impact CCCAP families with a household income above 118% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) and below 85% of the State Median Income (SMI). After soliciting feedback from the County Human Services Directors Association (CHSDA), this has been determined as a favorable and beneficial approach to support CCCAP families as they continue to deal with the impacts of the COVID-19 emergency and begin recovery efforts. |

| Comments |
CDHS typically holds 2 public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule. The initial hearing allowing 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. Emergency rules (ER) are adopted immediately, and are permanently adopted at a second hearing, usually the month after the initial hearing. This hearing adopted an ER which is anticipated to be adopted on a permanent basis through SOS#2020-00371.
