Thanks to additional federal and state funding, the OEC is inviting all families off of the waitlist who are currently on the waitlist. This is particularly helpful for families as they seek summer care. Provided all necessary documentation is submitted, families will now move through the eligibility process. OEC and Care 4 Kids are encouraging families applying to Care 4 Kids to use the online applications and redeterminations for faster processing. Please note: An invitation off the waitlist is not a determination of Care 4 Kids program eligibility. Once invited off the waitlist your application will be further reviewed to assess program eligibility.
