Cal-Learn Program - Terminations

Eligibility for the Cal-Learn program stops when the teen:

• Ages out (turns 20 years of age)
• Receives a high school diploma or its equivalent
• Stops receiving CalWORKs
• No longer lives in the same household as their child
• Becomes 19 years old and does not wish to volunteer
• Goes into Foster Care.

Transition to Welfare-to-Work (WTW)

Upon termination from Cal-Learn, a determination must be made to exempt the teen parent or transition to CalWORKs Employment Services (CWES) for WTW services.

The Cal-Learn CWES Worker:

• Determines whether the teen is exempt or needs to be registered for WTW,
• Changes the worker number of the WTW Program to refer the teen to the appropriate CWES office for scheduling a CWES orientation, and
• Notifies the Cal-Learn Case Manager at PPMM that the Cal-Learn case is closed.
• Sends the Cal-Learn Deregisteration (NA 843) to the teen parent.

Self-Initiated Program (SIP)

Cal-Learn students who are enrolled in a degree or certification program at the time they are required to attend CWES orientation must be treated like any other recipient with respect to having their SIP eligibility determined.
