18 Miss. Code. R. 17-8.16 - Licensure Revocation or Closure By MSDH

Any child care center closed by MSDH Licensure Department will be immediately closed in the CCPP.

A. CCDF funds cannot be used to pay a child care provider if the license has lapsed at any time. Funds shall be recouped for any lapse in time the license was not valid. If a provider is reinstated by MSDH Licensure Department within the MSDH thirty (30) days from the date of the closure, MDHS will not require the child care provider to submit a new child care provider application, but instead will allow the CCPP status to be reinstated.

B. If the death of a child occurs in a CCPP provider, and the death is determined to be due to a health and safety violation, the child care provider will be terminated from the CCPP upon a final determination of the cause of death. MDHS staff will assist with locating alternate childcare for other CCPP children if needed.
