Wisconsin Shares Handbook
Agency
workers must enter the days and times that the parent needs child care
to participate in their approved activity on the Child Care Need Schedule
page in CSAW and document the same information in case comments (see
12.2). A case comment indicating that the child always needs
care whenever the parent is participating in their approved activity is
sufficient to meet this requirement. Agency workers must enter travel
time separately and not include travel time in the child care need schedule.
| Example: Mike called to report that his provider is going on vacation August 30 through September 8. Mike needs a new authorization for child care at a second child care provider for Thursday August 30, Friday August 31, Monday September 3, and Tuesday September 4. The agency worker writes one (1) authorization for August 30 through September 4. The agency worker could use different begin and end dates if necessary to create consecutive authorizations. The Child Care Need schedule in CSAW should reflect that care is needed for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. |
When a parent has shared placement of a child, agency workers must ensure that the Child Care Need Schedule in CSAW only includes the days the child is with that parent. The shared placement schedule must be documented in case comments (see 12.2). Shared placement schedules can be verbally provided unless questionable (see 7.7).
