To test the digital CCAP application, use this site: staging.getchildcareil.org
The staging/demo site is an exact replica of the live digital application that has been set up specifically for testing and training.
Do not use the live site for testing the digital application.
- This is very important so that fake applications are not being sent to eligibility workers for processing.
- Make sure the site you use for testing has a red banner at the top that says ‘EXAMPLE SITE’.
- You can test the digital application on the staging/demo site, staging.getchildcareil.org, as often as you like.
- Do not share this staging/demo site with families that are applying for CCAP, or their applications will not be processed.
Follow the steps in the slide deck below in order to experience both the family CCAP application and the provider response/agreement to care on the digital application.
