I – 022 Does the family income of children entering Head Start for a third year need to be re-verified?
Children enrolled in an Early Head Start (EHS) program that were enrolled as “income eligible” children remain eligible throughout their time in EHS, even if they are being provided a third year of service. Family income in this situation does not have to be re-verified. Children enrolled as income eligible that are transitioning from EHS to Head Start must have their family’s income re-verified. Children enrolled as income eligible in a Head Start program are not required to have family income re-verified in order to enroll in the second year of service, but must have their family’s income re-verified if a program intends to enroll the child for the third year.
