AFS Special Procedures: UpdatedCOVID-19 Child Care Guidance

1. Blended rate eligible-code as a weekly rate – ENDING 08/31/24.

School age children (who normally qualify for the blended rate) will continue to be approved with a weekly rate through August 2024.

Only children who would normally be coded with the blended rate should be coded with the weekly rate. This does not include children who are only eligible for part-time care.

2. Care may be approved at one-star centers without completing the exception process – ENDING 08/31/24.

The edit in the system has been approved. You do not need to email the state office for approval.

3. Reduced Copayments – Ending 10/01/24.

OKDHS will cover 50% of family copayments from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024. The EE screen and notices will reflect the correct copayment; there will be no manual calculation required on your part to arrive at the copayment amount.
