Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Medicaid coverage for former foster youth
If you are 18 to 21, you can get Medicaid if you qualify for Successful Adulthood services, were in DHS or contracted tribal custody on your 18th birthday, and meet Medicaid income rules. This coverage helps pay for your medical care during young adulthood.
Foster youth help from 14 to 21
Successful Adulthood services start at age 14 while you are in DHS or a contracted tribe’s custody and in an out-of-home placement. Services continue to age 21 if you were in custody for abuse or neglect and in an out-of-home placement on your 16th birthday. If you left custody at age 16 or older through adoption or guardianship, you also stay eligible until 21. These services support housing, health coverage, education, work, and ties to caring adults.
Key IDs when you leave custody
If you are leaving foster care at 18 after at least six months in care, you get vital documents before exit. These include your birth certificate, Social Security card, medical records and health insurance information, a state ID or license, proof of foster care, and school or training records. If you are 18 and leaving Office of Juvenile Affairs custody with a plan to re-enter the community in this state, you receive similar documents: birth certificate, Social Security card, health insurance and medical record information, state ID or license, and any education or training records earned while in custody.
Rights and voice for foster teens
Starting at age 14, foster youth receive a written Notice of Rights about school, health, visits, court, key papers, and safety. The youth signs that the rights were explained in an age-appropriate way. Each child may choose up to two members for the permanency planning team, not including the foster parent or caseworker. One chosen person may advise or speak up on the reasonable and prudent parent standard. DHS can reject a chosen person for good cause.
College aid info for foster families
DHS and the State Regents provide parents and legal guardians of foster youth information about the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program. They explain who qualifies, how to apply, the academic rules, and other details needed to join.
