CDSS – CDMIS User Manual; Appendix A: Head-of-Household Middle Initial

Head-of-Household Middle Initial

The Head of Household (HoH) Middle Initial information field indicates the middle initial of the HoH of the family receiving subsidized child care services through an agency’s contract.

The HoH is the person legally and/or financially responsible for the child(ren) receiving subsidized child care services through an agency’s contract.

In a foster case (family of one), the HoH Middle Initial is the middle initial of the oldest foster child receiving subsidized child care services through an agency’s contract.

Where to Find It

• On the CCD 26, look in the box “Name of Parent/Caretaker A (full name including middle initial)” in Section I: Family Identification, or
• On the Notice of Action (CCD 7617), look in the space labeled “Parent/Caretaker Information.”

Note: Check to see if the family has a subsequent Notice of Action on file (not the initial notice) that applies to the report period (i.e., completed on or before the report period, as indicated by the effective date of action). If a Notice of Action is on file and the name is different, enter the updated information.

Rules and Guidelines

• This information field is optional but recommended if available.
• The maximum length of this field is one character.
• Do not enter a period after the middle initial.
• Special instructions for foster children: Enter the Child Middle Initial. If there is more than one foster child in the family receiving subsidized child care services, enter the middle initial of the oldest child receiving subsidized child care services through an agency’s contract. The first name, last name, and middle initial of the oldest child must be the same as the HoH First Name, Last Name, and Middle Initial.
