	(a)  "One-time items" are goods or services that are not included in out-of-home care payments because of high one-time or short-term costs exceeding $100. An out-of-home care provider may request one-time item money for a child placed by the division when there is no other resource for payment.  
	(b)  One-time item money may cover items such as  
		(1) special cribs, beds, mattresses, or discretionary devices for persons with disabilities;  
		(2) special event costs, such as graduation costs or Christmas gift money, if the child is placed less than 90 days before the event;  
		(3) costs for pre-placement visitation and travel.  
	(c)  An out-of-home care provider will not be reimbursed for an expenditure if it was made or incurred before receiving written approval of the one-time request, or if it is included in a rate under 7 AAC 53.050 - 7 AAC 53.060 and 7 AAC 53.365.  
	(d)  Requests by providers for one-time item money must be made to the division in writing.
