What happens when a parent loses his job?
If a parent loses his/her job, he/she must notify the ELCFH within ten (10) days so the change can be noted. The parent will have thirty (30) days from the last day of employment of continued child care services so that he/she can seek other employment. Unfortunately, the ELCFH does see cases where weeks or even months have passed and parent has not been working and ELCFH has not been informed. In those cases, termination from services happens immediately or within a short period of time. The parent will be required to pay back the ELCFH for those days of care that they were not eligible for reimbursement, due to non-notification of status change.
