services must be done.1. After the second month, a letter from the CCDF
program will be sent to the parent/guardian. This letter will remind you to submit your employment information, school verification, or job training information so your eligibility can be re-determined. For a parent/guardian who are employed by a temporary agency a copy of your hours worked or a pay stub must be submitted with each sign in/out sheet.
2. The parent/guardian has until the end of the third month to submit the information requested for re-determination.
