AI Summary
- Counties must verify 10 factors at initial child care assistance applications using a universal application form, including identity, income, immigration status, and residence
- Families not using the universal application must complete it at their next eligibility redetermination, after which counties use a simplified redetermination form
- Eligibility redeterminations occur every six months, except for parents under 21 without a high school diploma who are enrolled in a program providing child care, parenting, social services, and employment support, whose redeterminations may be deferred to the end of their school year (not to exceed 12 months)
- Counties must consider family circumstances when requesting verification, accept signed family statements when other verification is unavailable for non-income factors, and may not request specific verification forms if more readily available alternatives exist
- Income recalculation occurs when family income changes but no less than every six months, with the same 12-month deferral option available for qualifying student parents
