If the family is eligible for military child care but the family type is incorrect in MCC, before continuing with the enrollment process, you must (a) remove the offer, (b) update the family’s military family type information, and (c) determine if the request’s sequence on the waitlist has changed. If possible, take the following actions in the system while talking with the family so you can immediately discuss next steps.
AFTER THE OFFER IS MADE (CDC, SAC AND 24/7)
Remove the offer
- Select Manage Placement List from the dashboard.
- Use the Child Search feature to locate the family on the Placement List.
- Select the Remove link to remove the offer.

- Select “Incorrect priority in MCC” as the reason for removing the offer.
Update the family’s military family type
- Select the child’s name to open the Child Details screen.
- Select the Household Profile link at the top of the screen. The family’s household profile will open.
- Update the following information in MCC so it matches the sponsor and spouse information you have verified:
- Sponsor type: A list of all eligible sponsor types in order of priority will display, with the highest priority listed first. Choose the first option that applies to the sponsor.
- Spouse: As applicable, confirm the following
- Spouse status: Select the employment status that best describes the spouse.

- If the request is still sequenced first, make the offer again, accept it for the family, and continue with the enrollment process.
