Your child care help is ending in Indiana

Read the notice, call your eligibility office or the Child Care Support Line, and ask about an appeal.

1. Step 1: Read the notice

   The state manual says families and providers get written notice before many adverse actions. Find the reason and the date on your notice.

2. Step 2: Call for help

   Contact your local eligibility office, or call the OECOSL Child Care Support Line at 1-800-299-1627.

3. Step 3: Ask about an appeal in writing

   The state appeal form says to send a written appeal "Within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the Adverse Action Letter." The state manual counts from the termination or denial date. Check the notice or call to confirm.

4. Step 4: Ask about care during an appeal

   The state manual says care during an appeal is not paid after the notice period. Ask your eligibility office before you keep using care.

   • Indiana FSSA OECOSL: CCDF Voucher Program Policy Manual says: “Service for child care provided during an Applicant and Co-Applicant’s appeal will not be reimbursed after the ten (10) calendar day notice.” (checked 2026-10-12)

5. Step 5: Ask about transitional care

   If your job, school or training ended, ask the eligibility office about transitional care.

   • Indiana FSSA OECOSL: CCDF Voucher Program Policy Manual says: “Transitional Care is a period not to exceed sixteen (16) weeks, to be used when a service need is no longer valid.” (checked 2026-10-12)
