Grace Period

During the twelve (12) month eligibility period, a case may fall into a grace period. The CCAP grace period is a temporary period (up to three (3) months) during which a client is not meeting the minimum eligibility requirements but remains eligible for CCAP. 

A grace period is a minimum of the three (3) calendar months following the date of the reported change.  Grace periods are only applied to cases with active eligibility that have a break in the work, education and training, or SNAP E&T requirement for circumstances such as maternity/medical leave, a loss of job, or reduction of hours in the eligible activity.

Grace periods will NEVER extend past the original 12-month recertification date. If the issue has not been resolved by the end of the grace period, the case will discontinue.  A DCC-94C will be sent to the provider ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of discontinuance.
