Child Care Assistance - Children with Special Needs - Oklahoma

A child with disabilities is defined as a child receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), SoonerStart early intervention services, or special education services provided in accordance with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) by the local school district. This definition also includes a child whose SSI payment stops because of financial reasons but who still meets the medical definition of disability as determined by the Social Security Administration.

A child must receive SSI to be predetermined eligible for child care services with a zero family share co-payment if he or she meets all conditions of eligibility for child care. Child care may be approved for a child with disabilities through the month of the child's 19th birthday when a statement from a licensed health care professional is provided stating the child is physically or mentally incapable of self-care as age appropriate.

The parent or caretaker must submit the child’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) that documents the care needs of the child. If a child receiving SSI is not receiving special education services or SoonerStart services, a statement from a health professional describing the care needs of the child is submitted.
