CPS Override (CDD-801B only)
The CPS Override checkbox indicates if a family is a CPS referral and allows an agency to leave the Monthly Family Income information field blank.
Where to Find It
On the ELCD-9600, look in the box “Protective Services” under Section II: Family Eligibility and Reason for Needing Services.
Rules and Guidelines
- This information is necessary only for CPS-referred families in which family income is not collected; this information allows the Monthly Family Income information field to be blank.
- Do not check the CPS Override checkbox if the Monthly Family Income is known.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What if we do collect Monthly Family Income for a particular CPS case? Do we check this box?
No, agencies do not have to mark the checkbox when the monthly family income is reported for a CPS case. However, agencies should still indicate CPS as the family’s reason for receiving child care.
