Disabled dependents for DCAP's

[Guest ngoff]

What sort of documentation is needed for a disabled dependent to be qualified for the DCAP if any? Are special after school programs for this individual qualified expenses? How about when there is no school and they have all-day programs? Are these qualified expenses for the Dependent Care Assistance Program? (the disabled dependent is 11 yrs. old if that makes a difference)

Since the disabled dependent is under the age of 13, no documentation is necessary. Under Code Section 129, eligible day care expenses include: care for a child under the age of 13, or care for a disabled spouse or dependent incable of caring for him/herself.

The expense must be necessar for the employee or their spouse to work or attent school. IRS Publication 503 lists all the eligible day care expenses. Hope this helps!
