Do participants need to be licensed or work in a licensed facility to be eligible?
Not if the participant is applying for Track I. All participants in Tracks II ?V are required to be licensed providers, working a licensed facility, or be legally exempt from licensure. If the participant is not licensed, s/he must apply for licensure and achieve licensure by the second year of participation in the program (with the exception of those providing care in the child’s home, those working at a public school-based site, or those employed in a facility exempt from licensure by the DSS/CCL Division because it is either administered by a Tribal Council or located on a U.S. military installation). These exemptions do not apply to AB212 participants.
