If the teen is aided as...	Then the months on aid...
A child on their parent’s case,	Do not count against the CalWORKs or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) clock.
Head of Household on their own case,	Count against the TANF clock, but do NOT count against the CalWORKs clock.
A 19-year-old: Who is eligible for Cal-Learn, but does not voluntarily participate and is subject to WTW requirements if no other exemptions apply, or Volunteer who chooses to withdraw as a voluntary participant from the Cal-Learn program and is subject to WTW program requirements if no other exemptions apply,	Count against both CalWORKs and TANF clocks.

A teen parent who should have been participating in Cal-Learn, but was not, must have their time clocks adjusted, as appropriate.
