Contributors - Within the CalFresh HH

The following chart gives an overview of how to determine the number of contributors to use in the proration of expenses when the eligible members share expenses with excluded members of the CalFresh HH

CONTRIBUTORS
WHO YES NO
All eligible members of the CalFresh HH and IPV/ work requirement disqualified excluded members

If at least one CalFresh HH member contributes to the expense from their separate income or resources, or

If the CalFresh HH has income from an excluded (IPV/Work requirement disqualified or Ineligible non-citizen/ SSN disqualified) member, or

If an excluded (IPV/work requirement disqualified or Ineligible non-citizen/ SSN disqualified) member contributes to the expense using his/her separate resources.

COUNT ALL ELIGIBLE MEMBERS OF THE CalFresh HH AND ALL IPV / WORK DISQUALIFIED EXCLUDED MEMBERS.

No one in the CalFresh HH contributes to the expense from their separate income or resources, and

The CalFresh HH does NOT receive income from an excluded (IPV, work requirement disqualified, ineligible non-citizen, or SSN disqualified) member, and

There is no excluded member(s)

(IPV/work requirement disqualified/Ineligible non-citizen or SSN disqualified) who contributes to the expense from his/her separate resources.

SSN disqualified excluded CalFresh HH member

When at least one excluded SSN disqualified CalFresh HH member has income or contributes to the expense from his/her separate resources, count all SSN excluded members as contributors.

Refer to Excluded and Non-household Members.

When none of the excluded SSN disqualified CalFresh HH members:

Have income, or

Contribute to the expenses from their separate resources.

Ineligible ABAWD excluded CalFresh HH member

When at least 1 excluded Ineligible ABAWD CalFresh HH member has income or contributes to the expenses from his/her separate resources, count ALL ineligible ABAWD excluded members as contributors.

Refer to Excluded and Non-household Members.

When none of the excluded ineligible ABAWD CalFresh HH members:

Have income or

Contribute to the expense from their separate resources.

Non-citizen excluded CalFresh HH member

When at least one excluded non-citizen CalFresh HH member has income or contributes to the expense from his/her separate resources, count all non-citizen excluded members as contributors.

Refer to Excluded and Non-household Members.

When none of the excluded non-citizen CalFresh HH members:

Have income, or

Contribute to the expense from their separate resources.

Ineligible students When an Ineligible student contribution cannot be differentiated (i.e. pooled income), he/she is considered a contributor and included in the proration count. (Count only those individuals who actually contribute.)

Each Ineligible student who:

Does not personally pay, or pool income to pay the expense, or

Pays a fixed or flat rate for the expense.

These individuals are NOT considered contributors and are NOT included in the proration count.

* If an Ineligible student is also excluded as an ineligible non-citizen, treat that person as an excluded non-citizen for the purpose of determining contributors.
