SSI Disabled Child Program Overview - Oklahoma

This program, administered by the Family Support Services Division of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS), assists children from birth to age 18 who receive a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Disability Payment to receive assistance in obtaining needed equipment and services. This includes developmental toys and specialty formula from birth to age 18 and diapers from age 3 to age 18.

See: SSI Disabled Child Program - Available Services for more information about the services that can be requested.

Supplemental Security Income-Disabled Children's Program (SSI-DCP) is established under Section 1615 of the Social Security Act. This provides for the referral by the Social Security Administration for Supplemental Security Income recipient children to DHS, the designated state agency that provides social services.

Eligibility

Any child between the age of birth and 18 years of age is eligible if the child receives a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment. SSA establishes financial and medical eligibility for the SSI disability payment. The child must receive at least one dollar of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to be eligible for the Supplemental Security Income-Disabled Children's Program (SSI-DCP).

Service Plan

A service plan must be written by a social service specialist for each child on SSI-DCP to plan current and future social service needs. This plan must be reviewed yearly in conjunction with the eligibility review. If the child has other types of benefits that require a current social service plan, an additional social service plan is not necessary. All equipment and services available through SSI-DCP funding must be pre-approved
