Child Care Assistance - Household Size - Oklahoma

Individuals considered part of the household composition for income include:

· the natural or adoptive parent(s) of the child(ren) who is living in the home and for whom child care is needed;

· the caretaker(s) of the minor child(ren) who needs child care if that caretaker is legally and financially responsible for the child(ren);

· all minor children residing in the home for whom the payee is financially responsible;

· the stepparent of the minor child(ren) who is living in the home and for whom child care is needed;

· any non-relative adult of the opposite sex who is living in the home with the natural or adoptive parent; and

· any child(ren) of the non-relative adult of the opposite sex who is living in the home with the natural or adoptive parent.

When a household member is out of the home due to a temporary absence, he or she is still considered a household member as long as he or she plans to return to the home.

Examples of temporary absence include:

· a hospitalization for physical or mental health reasons;

· incarceration;

· attending school;

· military service;

· vacation time for a child.

When parents separate or divorce and share custody of their child(ren), either voluntarily or through a court order, each parent's eligibility is considered separately as well as his or her income. If only one parent qualifies for subsidized child care, only the days and hours of care needed while that parent has physical custody of the child(ren) is approved.
