The date of the application is the date the signed SFN 29, Crossroads Program Application is received in the county agency, provided the application was submitted during normal business hours. When an Application is submitted after normal business hours, on a weekend, or on a holiday, the application is considered received the next business day. An unsigned application is not considered an application.

NOTE: The County Crossroads Worker must document the date an application is filed by recording the date received on the application.

The benefit start date will be the first day of the month the signed application is considered received in the county social service office or the earliest date of eligibility.

 

A parent applying for Crossroads must also apply for the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) unless the parent already has an open CCAP case.

NOTE: To ensure child care expenses can be processed for the first month of Crossroads eligibility, the signed CCAP application must be received no later than the last day of the month following the month the individual becomes Crossroads eligible. (Refer to Section 400-28-20-10, Date of Application and Benefit Start Date in the CCAP Manual.)
