State Supplemental Payment - Blind or Disabled Child - Oklahoma

In determining eligibility of a blind or disabled child for State Supplemental Payment (SSP), the income and resources of his parent or parents with whom he is living are considered unless the parent(s) with whom he is living are included in a State Supplemental payment or AFDC application or payment.

Deeming of income

Income of parent(s) (Natural or adoptive), or step-parent and own parent must be deemed to a minor blind or disabled child who is under age 18 when determining eligibility for a State Supplemental Payment. Income of ineligible child(ren) is not deemed. Parent(s) income is not deemed if an eligible child is residing in a nursing facility.

Deeming of resources

For each minor blind or disabled child under 18 living with parent(s) whose needs are not included in an AFDC grant, or receiving SSI and/or SSP the parent's resources which exceed the maximum amount allowable are deemed available to the disabled child. If there is more than one eligible child, the amount is prorated. If the minor blind or disabled child is residing in nursing facility, the parent(s) resources are not deemed to the child.

Exceptions

A mentally retarded child living in the home who is ineligible for SSP due to the deeming process may be approved for Medical Assistance under the Home and Community Based Waiver (HCBW) Services for the Mentally Retarded. The child who is determined eligible under this provision by not deeming parent(s) income and resources is not eligible to receive a State Supplemental Payment. When both parents are in the home and one parent is included in an Aged, Blind, or Disabled case and the spouse is included in an AFDC case with the children, the resources of both parents are evaluated in relation to eligibility for SSI and therefore not considered on the AFDC case. All resources of the parents would be shown on the Aged, Blind or Disabled case.
