ANNOUCEMENT

The Alamosa County Colorado Child Care Assistance Program (CCCAP) has enacted an enrollment freeze of the CCCAP program effective November 18, 2024. The purpose of the freeze is to enable us to continue providing CCCAP services to current enrollees.

At this time due to new proposed federal changes, the newly implemented provider rate increase, and no additional federal and state funding to support these changes, it was necessary to implement a freeze of the program. It is uncertain how long this freeze will be in effect, but at a minimum one year.

You may complete a Freeze Application, the application will be held and eligibility will not be determined for services. The application will be held in order to reach out to you in the future to determine your continued interest in obtaining services.

We have become aware that there is some mis-information about spending your benefits. We want to remind everyone that you should budget your benefits accordingly to get through the end of February. This has only affected the SNAP (Food) benefits at this time. At this time we do not know the plan for March benefits should the shutdown continue. We will continue to update our page as we get more information available.

All SNAP participants:
● You will be able to use your EBT card to purchase food as long as you have benefits on your card.
● Plan food purchases carefully throughout January and February so your food needs are met through the partial government shutdown.
● SNAP benefits will not be issued again until March, if funds are available from the federal government.
● We do not have any further information about March SNAP benefits at this time.
● If you need more food resources during the partial government shutdown, we encourage you to reach out to your local food banks or community agencies in your area. ○ To find these resources in your area, please contact:
■ Colorado 211: 844-493-8255 or visit https://211colorado.communityos.org/cms/home
■ Hunger Free Colorado: 855-855-4626
■ Colorado Benefits Center: 855-871-2696
● When the shutdown ends, SNAP benefits will go back to normal.
If you received an additional Food Assistance (SNAP) payment on your EBT card from January 16-20:
● This is not an additional payment for January. These are your February SNAP benefits.
● The early payment of February SNAP is meant to help with next month’s food.
● No SNAP benefits will be added in the month of February.
If you did not receive a Food Assistance (SNAP) payment on your EBT card from January 16-20:
● You will receive February SNAP benefits on the regular payment date in February as seen below.

NOTICE:
Due to the partial government shutdown, you may not receive your February Food Benefits if your re-determination paperwork is not received in time for the department to complete processing. Please provide this paperwork to us as soon as possible but no later than noon on January 15th. You can submit your paperwork on the PEAK website, see link below, or bring it to the county office. We also have a drop off box located at the front door. If you are eligible to continue to receive Food Assistance you will receive February benefits before the end of January. This is not an additional benefit. February benefits will need to last you at least through the end of February or longer if the shutdown continues.

We will continue to update as more information becomes available.

NOTICE:
Due to the current government shut down we are requesting that all redetermination paperwork be turned in no later than 4:30 pm on Monday the 14th to ensure you will receive your benefit for February. We do have a document drop off box located at our front door for your convenience. We will continue to update you as more information comes available.
