Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, Department of Education. Secretary proposes to remove the requirement for public agencies to obtain parental consent prior to accessing for the first time a child’s public benefits or insurance ( e.g., Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)) to provide or pay for required IDEA Part B services.
We encourage your LEA to submit a comment in support of this proposed rule to remove parent consent requirements.
