[QUOTE="30BulletHoles, post: 1570035, member: 8041"] From the Oklahoma DHS website. The department will provide payment for transportation costs incurred in travel to and from JOBS or other approved activities. Payment is made only for the cost of public transportation or the cost of vehicle insurance, repairs and fuel for a client-owned vehicle. Payments that allow clients to use public transportation are the highest priority for DHS. However, payments for private transportation will be provided if the following are true: The client or driver has a valid driver's license; No public transportation is available; Public transportation is available, but the client has a verifiable medical condition or disability that keeps them from utilizing public transportation and for which no accommodation is available; and Public transportation is available, but it is more costly than the cost of car repair or fuel. In considering transportation payments, it is vital that staff evaluate all aspects of the client's transportation need and cost-effectiveness for DHS. For example, if DHS' child care cost will be higher as a result of requiring a client to ride the bus instead of driving their own car or getting a ride with another person, staff should consider paying for gas vouchers or other payments. DHS will not authorize car repairs for a vehicle owned by an individual who is not in the TANF filing group. However, there may be other resources available to the client. For example, there may be shuttle services that can connect a client with employment or activities in other areas. [/QUOTE]
