The eligibility period for protection and permanency approvals, regarding both preventive and protective child care, does not exceed six (6) months. The FSOS may approve continued child care assistance in six (6) month intervals using the DCC-85-Approval for Child Care Assistance, if necessary to continue to protect the child in the home from abuse or neglect, as long as the Cabinet has an active case with the family. Once the family’s case is closed, they are no longer eligible for redetermination.
Failure to submit a new DCC-85-Approval for Child Care Assistance may result in the disruption or discontinuance of the protective child care assistance.
