Time On Aid (TOA) Reviews

The appropriate time to complete a TOA review is in the following instances:

  • At intake (when clients apply or reapply for CalWORKs),
  • When a case is received from another District Office,
  • At redetermination (RD),
  • When adding an adult to an existing case,
  • Upon receipt of the monthly DSR608 report,
  • Upon receipt of CalSAWS automated tasks "Approaching CW Time Limit - 54 Months" and "Approaching CW Time Limit - 57 Months," and
  • When TOA is requested by another county or state, and the case has never been reviewed.

Refer to CalWORKs Business Processes Handbook Time on Aid (TOA) Red Flags and Exclamation Marks for instructions on what to do when TOA records are owned by Santa Clara County versus other counties.
