Description:
The Mississippi Low-Income Child Care Initiative (MUCCI) is submitting public comments in response to the Mississippi Department of Human Services' (MDHS) newly revised version of the Child Care Payment Program (CCPP) Policy Manual filed on the Mississippi Secretary of State's administrative bulletin on February 7th, 2019. MLICCI is encouraged to see a number of changes in this version of the policy manual, including clarification of a number of existing rules and procedures and the addition of policies that are responsive to Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) provider feedback. For instance, MUCCI applauds MDHS's inclusion of providers in 60-day notices of eligibility redetermination. As MLICCI reflects on more than 20 years of CCDF policy and administration in Mississippi, we offer an overarching recommendation below, followed by Section 1, in which we provide our analysis, recommendations and questions pertaining to the CCPP Policy Manual by chapter and page number. In Section 2, we provide our public comments on the proposed Economic Impact Statement. (author abstract)
