Family Independence Program - Transitional Child Care - South Carolina

Transitional child care will be provided, based on available funding, for up to 24 months to individuals in the Family Independence Program (FIP) who meet the following eligibility criteria:

·      FIP recipients who no longer receive a cash payment due to loss or reduction of earned income disregards or increased earnings

·      FIP recipients who formerly received a cash payment and who were employed at the time their case was closed

·      FIP recipients who formerly received a cash payment and whose cash payments were terminated due to the 24 month time limit expiration, who become employed and (a) requested assistance within 24 months from FI case closure and (b) whose income did not exceed 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines

Eligibility will cease if any of the following occurs:

·      The recipient no longer has a dependent child in the home

·      Employment ends (a 30-day interruption to go from one job to another job will be deemed continuous employment)

·      The client's income exceeds 175% of the Health and Human Services Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Assistance may be provided for up to 24 months from the first month of eligibility.

The South Carolina Department of Social Services (DSS) will expect the parent to make a co-payment based on a sliding fee scale. Parents will have the right to choose the child care arrangement that best meets the need of their child(ren).

Payments will be made to providers who meet the State's child day care regulatory requirements. Self-arranged, informal care arrangements that do not meet the State's child day care regulatory requirements will be paid for, if prescribed basic health and safety standards are met.
