Applicant's Choice
[EAS 81-215.33]
AFTER determining an applicant would benefit from Diversion AND the SCD 1307 has been completed, the applicant is informed that they must choose CalWORKs or Diversion.
Refusal
If the applicant does not choose the Diversion program, the “Informal Application Refusal” (SCD 166) must be signed. Resume the CalWORKs application and all other benefits/services (including an EAN referral) the applicant may be entitled to receive.
Withdrawal
If at any time, the applicant decides to withdraw their request for, or interest in, the Diversion program, the “Withdrawal of Application” (SCD 166) must be signed. Resume the CalWORKs application and all other benefits/services (including an EAN referral) the applicant may be entitled to receive.
Acceptance
If the applicant chooses the Diversion payment, the EW:
- Denies the CalWORKs application
- Approves the Diversion payment
- Processes the case for all other eligible benefits (i.e., CalFresh, Medi-Cal), and
- Makes appropriate referrals for services (including the EAN).
The EW will refer the applicant to the EC, if an employment evaluation or employment services are needed.
