				applying for benefits adopted the child through OKDHS or a federally-recognized
				Indian tribe, as defined by the Federal and Oklahoma Indian Child Welfare Acts;

				age, the client must provide a statement from a licensed health care
				professional verifying the child is physically or mentally incapable of
				self-care, as age appropriate, before further care is approved, per OAC
				340:40-7-3. An
				updated medical statement is required annually at renewal. When a child with
				disabilities turns 19 years of age during an eligibility period, the child
				remains eligible until the next renewal date; and

				factor and provides proof, per OAC
