FAQs About the CPS Override
Question 1
What if we do collect Monthly Family Income for a particular CPS Case? Do we check this box?
Answer
No. You do not have to check the box when you report income for a CPS case. However, you still should indicate CPS as the Reason for Receiving Child Development Services.
