Inform the child care assistance worker within 10 days that the participant is sanctioned.

If the sanctioned participant is:	How child care authorization responds:
Participating in some activities of the employment plan.	Child care authorization continues.
Continuing to work at least some hours.	Child care authorization continues.
Not participating in any eligible activities.	Child care authorization will continue for up to 3 months or until the redetermination, whichever occurs first, under “extended eligibility”.
Not cooperating with child support.	Child care will continue unchanged until the next redetermination.

If a 7th sanction closes the MFIP case, the participant is no longer eligible for MFIP child care.

· Child care assistance will assess whether the participant is eligible for Transition Year.

· If the participant is not eligible for Transition Year, child care assistance will assess whether the family is eligible for Basic Sliding Fee.

If the participant reopens on MFIP after resolving the sanction and is still receiving child care assistance, a new application for child care assistance will not be necessary. See the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) Manual 4.3.3.9 (MFIP Sanctions).
