The Start Date is the child's initial subsidy start date; the PLIS Start Date is the child's first day in CSPP. These dates may or may not match depending on when the child entered CSPP.

You'll now be able to proceed to conduct and record information for the Family Language and Interest interview if family conditions are met.
