Treatment of Excluded Persons Income
Under CalWORKs, there is only one budgeting method, regardless of why certain persons are excluded from the Assistance Unit (AU). Sanctioned persons (excluded for cause) are not considered Non-AU members. 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.
The family consists of a mother and her two children. She has been removed from the AU for failing to cooperate with CalWORKs Employment Services (CWES). She has a part-time job babysitting for $700.00 monthly. She has no dependent care expenses. Her budget computation is as follows:
|
Income to AU: Gross earned income Less Income Disregard Income to AU Less 50% Disregard Net income to AU
Grant Determination: MAP for AU (10/19) Less Income from Excluded Parent
Potential Grant MAP for AU (10/19) |
$700 -500 $200 -100 $100
$696 -100
$596 $696 |
Comparison of potential grant of $596 and MAP of $696, issue the lesser of the two. The AU is eligible for $596.
