Does your child have physical or mental disabilities but doesn’t qualify for SSI because of parental income?
The TEFRA Program might be the support you’re looking for.
Through TEFRA (Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982), children under age 19 in Oklahoma who meet certain disability and care requirements can receive SoonerCare (Medicaid) benefits—even if they wouldn’t normally qualify. This means services like therapy, medical equipment, dental care, transportation, and more can be brought to the home.
✅ Who’s eligible?
Under age 19
Meets Social Security’s definition of disability
Has an institutional level of care requirement
Caring for the child in the home is appropriate and less costly than institutional care
âś… What services might be covered? Medical, dental, vision, therapy, hospital care, and more.
