The Child Care Financial Assistance Program (CCFAP) Income Guidelines are being updated to reflect the new 2025 Federal Poverty Levels (FPL). This means that some families may qualify for a lower weekly family share and some new families may be eligible for CCFAP. The changes are included in the updated CCFAP Income Guidelines available on the CCFAP for families page.
The changes will go into effect on Sunday, March 23.
New certificates for providers will be generated and available in CDDIS after March 23, 2025.
CDDIS downtime
CDDIS will be down starting at 12 p.m. on Friday, March 21 through the weekend. During that time, CDD will run a “mass redetermination” for all current CCFAP recipients who have a family share to determine if they will be eligible at a lower family share.
Following the redetermination, new certificates for providers and statements of eligibility for families will be available. Providers will be able to view new certificates in their provider portal. Families will also receive an email that their new statement of eligibility can be viewed in their parent portal. The CDDIS Help Desk is available for help with parent or provider portals. Please fill out the CDDIS Help Desk Request Form for assistance.
Do not submit attendance while CDDIS is offline
Between March 21 at 12 p.m. and March 23 at 12 am, please do not enter attendance for any service period. Any attendance entered while CDDIS is offline will be rejected and will need to be re-entered after March 23. Attendance for the service period March 9 through March 22 is due Wednesday, March 26 at noon.
