7 AAC 45.271 - Reporting child's absence from home
(a) In addition to
the reporting requirements in
7
AAC 45.270, a caretaker relative shall report a
dependent child's absence from the home within five days after the date that it
becomes clear to the caretaker relative that the dependent child will be absent
from the home for more than one month. This report may be submitted
(1) in person, in a signed and dated
writing;
(2) by phone; or
(3) by electronic means approved by the
department.
(b) If a
caretaker relative fails, without good cause, to report a child's absence from
the home as required by (a) of this section and the absence is not allowable
under 7 AAC 45.225, the relative is
subject to a determination of an intentional program violation described in
7
AAC 45.580 and disqualification for failing to
disclose a material fact under
AS
47.27.015(e).
(c) For purposes of this section, "good
cause" means a circumstance beyond the caretaker relative's control that
prevents the relative from submitting a timely report, and includes
(1) a physical or mental illness or
incapacity that is severe enough and long enough to prevent timely
reporting;
(2) illiteracy;
and
(3) failure of the mail to be
timely delivered, if the relative can document the circumstance as the cause of
the failure.
