Virginia Independence Program [22 VAC 40 ‑ 35]
Action:
Amend Virginia Independence Program
Action 6595
 
[Withdrawn 4/18/2025]
General Information
Action Summary Section 10, Definitions, references the Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) Child Day Care policy in the two definitions, “Affordable Child Care Arrangements,” and “Unsuitability of informal child care.” The entire VDSS Child Day Care policy manual is included in the regulation as a document incorporated by reference (DIBR). In 2021, administration of the Child Care Program moved from VDSS to the Virgnia Department of Education (VDOE). This regulatory action will replace references to the VDSS Child Day Care policy manual, with the VDOE Child Care Subsidy Guidance Manual, in the above definitions. Also, the updated references will identify the specific sections of the VDOE manual that are applicable, rather than the entire contents of the manual. The applicable sections of the VDOE guidance manual will replace the VDSS manual as the DIBR in the regulation, reducing the number of requirements.
