Making Satisfactory Progress (MSP) Introduction

State policy requires the assignment of participation hours to CalWORKs clients based on three factors:

• The number of parents or caretaker relatives included in the AU
• The age of the child(ren) in the AU, and
• The basis for deprivation (unemployment or incapacity) of the child(ren) in the determination of eligibility to two-parent AUs.

Refer to Noncompliance - Two-Parent Cases for additional information for participation requirements for various two-parent/adult scenarios.
