Apply Now - No Waiting! 

REWARD Oklahoma Announces Program Changes

 

Great News!  Effective July 1, 2010, you may apply for REWARD Oklahoma immediately rather than waiting until you have worked 6 months at your facility.  In addition, you do not have to wait another 6 months for your first check!

 

When can I apply?

You can apply to REWARD Oklahoma anytime after you begin working in a qualifying licensed child care facility. If approved, you will have a 6-month commitment period that includes the time you have already worked. For example, if you have worked 4 months and you are approved, you will only have to work for 2 additional months to complete your commitment period and be eligible for a check.

 

What if I transfer?

When you transfer to another eligible facility within the corporation, you will have to reapply to REWARD Oklahoma. But you can do this as soon as you start your new job. If you are approved, your new commitment period ends 6 months from your hire date at the new facility.

 

What if I leave my facility?

If you leave your facility, you may reapply as soon as you start work at another eligible facility.  If you are approved, your new commitment period ends 6 months from your hire date at the new facility.

 

Are there other changes?

Yes! Effective July 1, 2010, there is no longer a level expiration date for Level 10 of the Teacher/Family Child Care Home Scale.  If you were previously on the program at Level 10 and were made inactive for level expiration, you can reapply to REWARD Oklahoma.  You must be working in a facility that meets REWARD Oklahoma program requirements and continue to meet program requirements as a Teacher or Family Child Care Practitioner.
