Determining Countable TANF Months from Another State
Most CalWORKs time limit exemptions apply only to aid received in California. In determining the number of countable TANF months from another state (for the federal 60-month time limit), only the following exemptions apply:
- The month is not counted because the individual is living in Indian Country or an Alaskan native village with at least 50% unemployment.
- The month is not counted, or is later deducted from the count, because all aid for that month was reimbursed by child support collected.
Obtaining Out of State TOA History
If any adult received cash aid in another state, the EW must contact the other state to determine how many months were paid to the applicant. This information is to be thoroughly documented on the Journal Detail page. The out of state information must then be added by the EW to the adult’s TOA record on the Individual Time Limit Clock Detail page in CalSAWS.
If the individual’s record is not sent to TRAC after two days, complete an “Request for Online Transaction” (SC 1296) to request the MTO to add the record to TRAC.
