Through a generous grant from the Masonic Charities Foundation of Oklahoma, the ASCOG Area Agency on Aging is able to assist individuals 55 years of age and older who live in the eight counties area served by us. The assistance can cover a variety of things such as dentures, minor home repairs, porch ramps, etc. The Masonic Grant is now available and will continue until the funds are gone. Individuals who are 55 or older and live in the ASCOG eight county service area can pick up an application at our office located at 802 west main street or on our website ASCOG.ORG under the aging services tab. Applications must include an estimate of cost for service request. If you have any questions, please call Lisa at 580-736-7036.

Oklahoma Caregiver Tax Credit

Oklahoma is the first state in the nation to adopt an expansive caregiver tax credit. The Caring for Caregivers Act became law in June 2023 and takes effect Jan. 1, 2024.
House Bill 1029 – The Caring for Caregivers Act – will allow a tax credit up to 50% of eligible caregiver costs, capped at $2,000 per year for most participants and $3,000 per year for those caring for veterans or people with a dementia-related diagnosis. Eligible expenses include home modifications such as installing a ramp, durable medical equipment, assistive technologies, home health, and more.
The family caregiver must have a federal adjusted gross income below $50,000 for single filers or $100,000 for joint filers. The credit is for out-of-pocket costs incurred by the unpaid family caregiver for a limited set of services.
