IN Completing Process

EW Requirements

When any request for an IN is made, the EW must do one of the following for each of the unmet need items:

• Approve the request in CalSAWS, or
• Deny the request in CalSAWS, or
• Complete an EDE.

After a decision is made and the request has been processed the EW must complete:

• The “County Use Only” section of the SAWS 1/SAWS 2 Plus/CW 4, and
• Issue the appropriate NOA generated by CalSAWS within the required time frame.

15-Day Time Frame

The applicant's eligibility for aid must be verified within 15 working days from the date of the receipt of the IN payment.

This time frame also applies to an IN request which was denied because:

• The need was met by a community resource, or
• The need was met by the issuance of a Homeless Assistance payment.

Determining CalWORKs Eligibility

Once the result of the IN is determined, process the CalWORKs application as follows:

IF...	THEN...
The applicant is eligible for CalWORKs benefits,	Compute the aid payment in accordance with the beginning date of aid rules. (The amount of aid payment is the grant amount less any IN payment issued for that month.) Complete the “County Use Only” Section of the SAWS 1/SAWS 2 Plus/CW 4. Issue the aid payment as soon as administratively possible.
The applicant is ineligible for CalWORKs benefits,	Deny the CalWORKs application. Complete the “County Use Only” Section of the SAWS 1/CW 4, and the SCD 1532. Process overpayment claim for IN issuance.
