7 AAC 53.330. One-time items

(a) "One-time items" are goods or services that are not included in out-of-home care payments because of high one-time or short-term costs exceeding $100. An out-of-home care provider may request one-time item money for a child placed by the division when there is no other resource for payment.

(b) One-time item money may cover items such as

(1) special cribs, beds, mattresses, or discretionary devices for the handicapped;

(2) special event costs, such as graduation costs or Christmas gift money, if the child is placed less than 90 days before the event;

(3) non-recurring adoption expenses such as the family's one time legal and court costs for adoption and costs for pre-placement visitation and travel.

(c) An out-of-home care provider will not be reimbursed for an expenditure if it was made or incurred before receiving written approval of the one-time request, or if it is included in a rate under 7 AAC 53.050 - 7 AAC 53.060 and 7 AAC 53.365.

(d) Requests by providers for one-time item money must be made to the division in writing.

(e) Out-of-home care providers will be notified within 10 working days of the action taken by the division on the request.
