In addition to the basic CalWORKs grant, a Pregnancy Special Needs (PSN) payment is paid to an eligible pregnant person who provides medical verification. Refer to Pregnancy Special Needs - Federal Eligibility for steps to take.
Medical Verification
Acceptable medical verification of pregnancy is a written statement that substantiates the diagnosis of pregnancy and provides the estimated delivery date from a:
- Physician,
- Physician's assistant,
- State-certified nurse midwife,
- Nurse practitioner, or
- Designated medical or clinic personnel with access to the patient's medical record.
PSN Payment
The PSN payment is $100 per month.
Claiming
Generally, the aid type determines if the PSN allowance is claimed as federal or non-federal. In a mixed claiming situation, claim the PSN allowance as non-federal.
