Treatment of Excluded Persons Income

Under CalWORKs, there is only one budgeting method, regardless of why certain persons are excluded from the AU. Sanctioned persons (excluded for cause) are not considered a Non-AU member. The income of the sanctioned individual is used in the budgeting process allowing the appropriate disregards, but the needs of the sanctioned person are not allowed.

Important: Current Income Disregard and MAP values must be used in calculations. Income Disregard and MAP values below may not be current values.
