If the family’s CCAP case is active at the time the disqualification is entered, MEC² will give a 15-day notice and calculate the disqualification period. Refer to MEC² User Manual > Case Management and Eligibility > Case Data Pages > Case Page Summary > Enter an IPV Determination.

If a family’s CCAP case is closed at the time the disqualification is entered, contact the TSS Help Desk. The TSS Help Desk will enter the IPV and will result in the family serving their full disqualification period.

See the MEC² User Manual > Case Management and Eligibility > Case Data Pages > Case Page Summary Window > Case Fraud Page.

MFIP fraud disqualifications and convictions

If a family is disqualified from MFIP due to MFIP fraud, the family is no longer eligible for MFIP child care assistance but may be eligible for BSF. See Chapter 4.3.3.6 (MFIP Special Circumstances).

Fraud disqualifications in other states

Families serving a disqualification period for child care fraud in another state remain disqualified in Minnesota.
