Conflicting official information

  • The opening notice limits payments to the month the child turns 12 without distinguishing providers. The eligibility section applies that rule to state-licensed providers and mentions possible tribal or out-of-state exceptions, as well as special needs. Confirm the case with HHS.

Do not rely on the disputed condition until the provider clarifies it.

Not confirmed or subject to limits

  • A current deadline was not confirmed; check with the organization before applying.
