CDSS – CDMIS User Manual; Appendix A: CPS Override

CPS Override (CDD-801B only)

The CPS Override checkbox indicates if a family is a CPS referral and allows an agency to leave the Monthly Family Income information field blank.

Where to Find It

On the CCD 26 Form, look in the box “Protective Services” under Section II: Family Eligibility and Reason for Needing Services.

Rules and Guidelines

• This information is necessary only for CPS-referred families in which family income is not collected; this information allows the Monthly Family Income information field to be blank.
• Do not check the CPS Override checkbox if the Monthly Family Income is known.

Error Messages and Solutions

See Appendix B: Error Message Codes for solutions to error messages.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What if we do collect Monthly Family Income for a particular CPS case? Do we check this box?
  • No, agencies do not have to mark the checkbox when the monthly family income is reported for a CPS case. However, agencies should still indicate CPS as the family’s reason for receiving child care./li>
