Reapplication for CalWORKs
Households who reapply for CalWORKs and are approved during their Transitional CalFresh period will be discontinued from Transitional CalFresh when the CalWORKs case is granted. A 10-day NOA is required to discontinue Transitional CalFresh. Regular CalFresh benefits cannot be approved until the first of the month after Transitional CalFresh benefits are discontinued.
ExampleExample
Household members who are approved for CalFresh or CalWORKs on a separate case must be discontinued from Transitional CalFresh prior to granting the separate CalFresh or CalWORKs benefits. Transitional CalFresh benefits must be recomputed for the remaining Transitional CalFresh household members by removing the individual from the Transitional CalFresh household along with his/her income and deductions, if any.
CalFresh HH is discontinued from CalWORKs/PA CalFresh effective 12/31/03, due to failure to submit the November Income Report (SAR 7). Transitional CalFresh is set up for 01/04-05/04. The CalFresh HH reapplies for CalWORKs on 01/18, is interviewed on 01/19, and is approved on 01/23/04. Transitional CalFresh is discontinued 02/29/04, due to the 10-day notice requirement and regular CalFresh benefits are granted based on the 01/18/04 application effective 03/01/04.
The Transitional CalFresh household consists of two adults and two children. On 08/15/18, one adult and one child move out of the home. On 08/24/18, this adult reapplies for CalFresh. Because a 10-day notice must be given, the two individuals who moved out of the home are discontinued from the Transitional CalFresh case effective 09/30/18. The Transitional CalFresh benefits are reduced by removing the two individuals from the Transitional CalFresh household, their income and deductions, if any. The 08/24/18 CalFresh application is granted effective 10/01/18 (the first of the month after Transitional CalFresh benefits were discontinued).
In order for Transitional CalFresh to be received, CalWORKs and regular CalFresh must be received in the month a regular CalFresh household loses CalWORKs eligibility.
