Required Documents for Recertifications (Caregiver Subsidies)
Proof of School Attendance: Proof that any school-age child in my care receiving the subsidy is regularly attending school such as a copy of a school report or letter from a school administrator showing the attendance record of the school-aged children in my household receiving the subsidy. Note: Proof of attendance is not the same as proof of enrollment. Please ensure that the document you provide shows how many days the child has attended or been absent from school this year.

If you are claiming that you have no income and cannot provide one of the approved forms for proof, you can submit a sworn statement that you have no income
