BDA Rules and Required Forms
BDA Rules
The BDA for persons being added to the AU is based on the date the person is reported to be in the home, and the affect adding the person has on the amount of the grant.
SAR principals provide two potential BDAs for individuals being added to an existing CalWORKs AU. If otherwise eligible, and ALL verification are provided, aid shall begin as follows, IF the budget calculation results in:
- An increase in the CalWORKs grant amount; the BDA is the first of the month AFTER the change is reported.
- A decrease or No Change in the CalWORKs grant amount; the BDA is the first of the month of the next payment period AFTER the change is reported.
Forms Required
The applicant or recipient joining an existing AU must sign one of the following, before aid is granted:
- A “Statement of Facts to Add a Child Under 16 Years” (CW 8A), or
- A “Statement of Facts for Additional Persons” (CW 8), or
- A “Statement of Facts for Cash Aid, CalFresh, and Medi-Cal/CMSP” (SAWS 2) when it is determined that additional eligibility factors need review or the annual Redetermination (RD) is due.
Exception: Newborns. Refer to Immediate Medi-Cal Authorization For Newborn.
Reminder: Prior to granting aid an interview (face-to-face or telephone) is required when adding a new adult member to the household. A home visit may be conducted if the applicant has physical or mental barriers limiting his/her ability to attend a face-to-face interview. The home visit must have prior Supervisor approval.
