Office of Child Care (OCC) Monitoring System
The purpose of OCC’s monitoring system is to determine State compliance with the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 2014 and the Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) Final Rule. The monitoring process includes a pre-visit review of materials provided by the State, as well as an onsite visit to validate
the evidence observed during the pre-visit review and to collect additional evidence of the State’s compliance with the CCDBG Act and the CCDF Final Rule.

Part A: State Approaches to Demonstrating Compliance with CCDF Rules
Completing the Compliance Demonstration Chart
In the chart below, for each CCDF regulation listed in the Column A, please indicate in Column B how the State proposes to show evidence of its compliance with
the regulation prior to the onsite visit (such as state/local regulations, policies, manuals, etc.) and indicate in Column C how the State proposes to demonstrate
compliance during the onsite visit (such as staff interviews, system demonstrations, visits to field offices, guided case file reviews, etc.).

Flexibility
The State has flexibility to propose an approach that, from its perspective, makes sense in light of the State’s circumstances and processes. Starting with the
State’s proposal, OCC will work with the State to finalize an approach that is feasible and provides sufficient evidence of compliance.

Deadline of Submission
The Compliance Demonstration Chart is to be completed and submitted at least two full weeks prior to State Planning Call #1. The State’s estimated date of
submission is included in the State’s Monitoring Activities Chart. If needed, after State Planning Call #1, the Regional Office will send a summary of the agreed
upon changes or additions to Part A to the State. The State’s Team will then review, update, and submit the revised Compliance Demonstration Chart based on
agreements made during State Call #1.

Please Note: Part B of this document should not be completed until after State Planning Call #1.

98.21(a)(1): 12-Month Eligibility Determination & Re-determination
(a) A Lead Agency shall re-determine a child’s eligibility for child care services no sooner than 12 months
following the initial determination or most recent re-determination, subject to the following:
(1) During the period of time between determinations or re-determinations, if the child met all of the
requirements in §98.20(a) on the date of the most recent eligibility determination or re-determination,
the child shall be considered eligible and will receive services at least at the same level, regardless of:
(i) A change in family income, if that family income does not exceed 85 percent of SMI for a family
of the same size; or
(ii) A temporary change in the ongoing status of the child’s parent as working or attending a job
training or educational program. A temporary change shall include, at a minimum:

care for a family member or an illness;

98.21(a)(2): Continued Assistance/Job Search
(a)(2)(i) Lead Agencies have the option, but are not required, to discontinue assistance due to a parent’s
loss of work or cessation of attendance at a job training or educational program that does not constitute a
temporary change in accordance with 98.21(a)(1)(ii). However, if the Lead Agency exercises this option,
it must continue assistance at least at the same level for a period of not less than three months after each
such loss or cessation in order for the parent to engage in job search and resume work, or resume
attendance at a job training or educational activity.
(ii) At the end of the minimum three-month period of continued assistance, if the parent is engaged in a
qualifying work, education, or training activity, with income below 85% of SMI, assistance cannot be
terminated and the child must continue receiving assistance until the next scheduled re-determination, or
at Lead Agency option, for an additional minimum 12-month eligibility period.
(iii) If a Lead Agency chooses to initially qualify a family for CCDF assistance based a parent’s status of
seeking employment or engaging in job search, the Lead Agency has the option to end assistance after a
minimum of three months if the parent has still not found employment, although assistance should
continue if the parent becomes employed during the job search period.

98.21(b)(1): Graduated Phase-Out
(b)(1) Lead Agencies that establish family income eligibility at a level less than 85 percent of SMI for a
family of the same size (in order for a child to initially qualify for assistance) must provide a graduated
phase-out by implementing two-tiered eligibility thresholds, with the second tier of eligibility (used at the
time of eligibility re-determination) set at:
(i) 85 percent of SMI for a family of the same size; or
(ii) An amount lower than 85 percent of SMI for a family of the same size, but above the Lead
Agency’s initial eligibility threshold, that:
(A) Takes into account the typical household budget of a low income family; and
(B) Provides justification that the second eligibility threshold is:
(1) Sufficient to accommodate increases in family income over time that are typical for
low-income workers and that promote and support family economic stability; and
(2) Reasonably allows a family to continue accessing child care services without
unnecessary disruption.

Pre-Visit Information

98.21(e)(1), (2), and (4): Change Reporting During the Minimum 12-Month Eligibility Period
(e) The Lead Agency shall specify in the Plan any requirements for parents to notify the Lead Agency of
changes in circumstances during the minimum 12-month eligibility period, and describe efforts to ensure
such requirements do not place an undue burden on eligible families that could impact continued
eligibility between redeterminations.

(i) If the family’s income exceeds 85% of SMI, taking into account irregular income fluctuations; or

work, training, or education.
(2) Any additional requirements the Lead Agency chooses, at its option, to impose on parents to
provide notification of changes in circumstances to the Lead Agency or entities designated to perform
eligibility functions shall not constitute an undue burden on families. Any such requirements shall:
(i) Limit notification requirements to:
• items that impact a family’s eligibility (e.g., only if income exceeds 85 percent of SMI, or
there is a non-temporary change in the status of the child’s parent as working or
attending a job training or educational program) or
• those that enable the Lead Agency to contact the family or
• those that enable the Lead Agency to pay providers;
(ii) Not require an office visit in order to fulfill notification requirements; and
(iii) Offer a range of notification options (e.g., phone, email, online forms, extended submission
hours) to accommodate the needs of working parents;
