<br />In the event third-party verification is not available, SAHA will provide the family with a <br />form on which the family member must record job search efforts. SAHA will review this <br />information at each subsequent reexamination for which this deduction is claimed. <br />Furthering Education <br />SAHA will request third-party documentation to verify that the person permitted to <br />further his or her education by the child care is enrolled and provide information about <br />the timing of classes for which the person is registered. The documentation may be <br />provided by the family. <br />Gainful Employment <br />SAHA will seek third-party verification of the work schedule of the person who is <br />permitted to work by the child care. In cases in which two or more family members could <br />be permitted to work, the work schedules for all relevant family members may be <br />verified. The documentation may be provided by the family. <br /> <br />Allowable Type of Child Care <br />The type of care to be provided is determined by the family, but must fall within certain <br />guidelines, as discussed in Chapter 6. <br />SAHA Policy <br /> <br />SAHA will verify that the type of child care selected by the family is allowable, as <br />described in Chapter 6 (6-II.F). <br />SAHA will verify that the fees paid to the child care provider cover only child care costs <br />(e.g., no housekeeping services or personal services) and are paid only for the care of an <br />eligible child (e.g., prorate costs if some of the care is provided for ineligible family <br />members). <br />SAHA will verify that the child care provider is not an assisted family member. <br />Verification will be made through the <br />who are expected to reside in the unit. <br />Reasonableness of Expenses <br /> <br />Only reasonable child care costs can be deducted. <br />SAHA Policy <br /> <br /> standards <br />of reasonableness for the type of care in the locality to ensure that the costs are <br />reasonable. <br />If the family presents a justification for costs that exceed typical costs in the area, SAHA <br />will request additional documentation, as required, to support a determination that the <br />higher cost is appropriate. <br /> <br />04/01/14 <br />Page 7-27 <br /> <br />
