Provider Change of Status
When a change of status occurs, the change must be reported to MDHS within 10 (ten) calendar
days of the occurrence. A significant change of status requires completion of a new CCPP
application and new e-Ledger training webinar (if more than 6 months since completion of the
last webinar) and includes the following:
A. Address change
B. Tax ID Number change
C. Change of Ownership
1) Procedure for transfer of ownership:
a. New Owner must:
Comply with all requirements to become a CCPP approved provider. Children
enrolled in CCPP and MDHS Provider ID numbers do not automatically transfer to
the new owner. If the new owner fails to complete the CCPP approval process prior
to the first date of operation under new ownership, there shall be a lapse in payment
until the new owner completes the CCPP approval process.
b. Previous Owner must:
i. Notify MDHS in writing of the pending transfer of ownership within 24
(twenty-four) hours of notification of same to the Mississippi Department of
Health, Bureau of Child Care Licensure. Notification must be received so that
all certificates may be terminated and reissued to the new owner upon the last
day of operation. The certificates will only be issued to the new provider with
parent approval. MDHS will recoup payments made to a provider in the event
that notification is not received within this timeline.
ii. Submit a written statement certifying the provider will no longer claim funds
issued by CCPP after a designated date, and the designated date
iii. Provide MDHS a forwarding address for any future payments and tax
information
2) This information can be submitted by mail, fax, email, or in person to MDHS. All
changes must be approved by MDHS before payment will be issued.
