3-005.01C Transitional Child Care (TCC)

392 NAC 3-005.01C

Transitional child care must be provided for 24 consecutive months if all of the following conditions are met:

  1. The family loses eligibility for a grant as a result of increased earnings or increased hours of employment;
  2. The family received a grant (or did not receive a grant but met income and resource eligibility to receive a grant) for which they were eligible in three of the last six months preceding ineligibility.  (A month in which the unit was eligible but did not receive a grant because of the $10 minimum qualifies as a month of grant.);
  3. The family provides the financial information necessary to determine eligibility and the amount of the fee;
  4. The child care is necessary to allow the parent to accept or retain employment;
  5. The family’s gross earned and unearned income is equal to or less than 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level; and
  6. The family continues to meet the resource limit.

The 24 months begin with the first month for which the family is ineligible for a grant. The family may begin to receive child care in any month during the 24-month eligibility period.

 

The first month of an ADC transitional grant is the first month of TCC. The transitional grants are disregarded as income.

The exception is if the family's income is below the income for the fee schedule; in that case, code the family as LF and begin the 24 months with the first month the income is on the fee schedule. For example, a family of 2 becomes ineligible for child care because of earned income but the income is $1,000 a month which would not put the family on the fee schedule. Until the family's income reaches $1,167, they are coded LF and we do not begin counting months of TCC.
