In a household with two caretakers, child care can be allowed when:

• One of the caretakers is in an allowable activity

• The other caretaker is disabled:

• Must be deemed disabled by the Social Security Administration
• Presumptive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) does not meet this criteria.
• State Review Team decisions cannot be used to consider an individual as ‘deemed disabled’
• Verification from the disabled caretaker's physician must be obtained indicating the disabled caretaker cannot care for the child(ren).
