Foster youth services and Medicaid through 21

The law provides Successful Adulthood services starting at age 14 if you are in DHS or contracted tribal custody and in an out-of-home placement. Services continue until you turn 18 while those conditions apply. Services can continue until age 21 if you were in custody for abuse or neglect and were in an out-of-home placement on your 16th birthday. Youth age 16 or older who left custody because of adoption or guardianship can also get services until 21. If you are 18–21, were in custody on your 18th birthday, and meet Medicaid income rules, you can get Medicaid while you are eligible for these services.

Documents for youth leaving OJA custody

If you were in Office of Juvenile Affairs custody and turn 18, you must get key documents at release when you plan to live in Oklahoma. You receive your birth certificate, Social Security card, health insurance information and your medical records, a state ID or driver license, and any school transcripts, diplomas, or certificates earned in custody.

Key rights and documents for foster youth

If you are in foster care, at least 14, and in an out-of-home placement, you get a written Notice of Rights. It covers school, health, visits, court, needed documents, and safety. You sign that it was explained in a way you understand. You help make your permanency plan. You may pick up to two team members (not your foster parent or caseworker) and name one advisor on the reasonable and prudent parent standard; DHS can refuse a pick for good cause. If you leave care at 18 after at least six months in care, DHS must give you your birth certificate, Social Security card, health insurance info, medical records, a state ID or driver license, proof of foster care, and any school transcripts, diplomas, or certificates.

College aid info for foster families

The Department and State Regents provide parents and legal guardians of foster youth information about the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program. The materials explain who qualifies, how to apply, and the academic rules.
