Initiating Application

Initiating Application A. Applications should be submitted through the Child Care Payment System (CCPS) found on the consumer education website. The application must be completed and submitted before MDHS can review the application for eligibility. Applications submitted in Spanish or Vietnamese must be mailed to DECCD or delivered to the State Office or any Child Care Resource & Referral site. B. All applicants are required to submit a current email address, address, and telephone number so MDHS eligibility workers can contact the applicant if necessary. All notices will be sent to the email address provided. C. All required supporting documents must be submitted within sixty (60) calendar days of submitting an application. If the documents are not submitted within that timeframe, the application will be considered abandoned, and will be deleted from the CCPS. The applicant will need to start a new application if child care is still needed.
