Section 3041.133. Waiting list

(a) If funds are not available to enroll a child following determination of the family’s eligibility for subsidy, the eligibility agency shall place an eligible child on a waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis. Placement on the waiting list must be determined by the date and time eligibility for the child was determined.

(b) If a parent or caretaker requests subsidized child care for an additional child following the date the family was initially determined eligible for subsidized child care, the additional child shall be placed on the waiting list according to the date and time that the parent or caretaker requests care for the additional child.

(c) If a parent or caretaker does not select an eligible provider and enroll the child for child care no later than 30 calendar days following the date funding is available, the child will not be eligible for subsidy and will be removed from the waiting list.

(d) If a family was determined eligible and placed on the waiting list more than 6 months prior to the date that funding became available to enroll the child in subsidized child care, the eligibility agency shall complete a redetermination prior to enrollment and confirm that the family is eligible for subsidized child care.
