A joint effort of the state, counties and advocates, here’s the new NOA (attached to the ACIN), redesigned to improve the form for ease of use and understanding. Also comes with a reminder that CWDs must issue a written notice of action to a client whenever approvals, denials, discontinuances or other changes are made to the client’s child care subsidy authorization or payment. And that the notice must comply with MPP 47-420, as well as adequate and timely noticing provisions at MPP Section 22-001, 22-071, and 22-072. Under no circumstance is verbal notification to the client acceptable as the sole form of notification to clients regarding actions taken on child care services or payments. [Download]
