Okla. Admin. Code § 340:40-9-1 - Renewal of child care eligibility

(a) Child care renewal. The client must complete the child care renewal at the end of the 12-month eligibility period to continue receiving benefits per Section 98.21(a) of Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Refer to Oklahoma Administrative Code 340:40-9-2(f) for reasons child care is closed prior to the renewal. At renewal, the client is sent a computer-generated notice informing the client:
(1) the renewal is due;
(2) the methods the client may use to complete the renewal;
(3) types of verification that may be required; and
(4) when benefits close if the renewal is not completed.
(b) Renewal time frame. A child care renewal is due no earlier than 12 months from the approval date or the last renewal unless the client receives Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program food benefits and benefits must be synchronized per (f) of this Section.
(c) Signature requirement. The client or the client's authorized representative must sign the renewal.
(d) Interview requirement. An interview is not required at renewal for the Child Care Subsidy Program.
(e) Eligibility determination. An eligibility determination is made once the renewal is signed and all required verification is provided and evaluated.
(1) The eligibility determination results in:
(A) completing the renewal without changes;
(B) completing the renewal with changes; or
(C) closing the child care benefits.
(2) Benefits, when closed, may be reopened when the client provides required information within 30-calendar days of closure.
(f) Synchronization of benefits. When the client receives other Adult and Family Services benefits in addition to the subsidized child care benefits, certification and renewal dates must be coordinated with the other programs.
