If the provider and the child live in the same home (grandma for example), the care is considered to be provided in the provider’s home. The provider may be paid if they are a licensed, self-declaration, approved relative, or registered by a Tribe.

A child’s sibling who is age 18 or older, providing child care and residing in the same home can be reimbursed if licensed or self-declaration. A sibling residing in the home is not eligible to be an approved relative and payment cannot be made.

NOTE: If the sibling providing child care lives in a separate residence from the child, payment can be made if the sibling complies with any applicable requirements to be a licensed, self-declaration, approved relative or registered by a Tribe.
