Entering EA in CalSAWS

After the Triage FC EW validates the EA 1 and adds the EA record to ACE, the case is referred to the Intake FC EW for processing. EA funding is available for non-relatives and federally eligible relatives for 180 days. Emergency Caregiver-eligible relative cases may receive EA for up to 365 days with documented good cause.

Note: EA funding in ACE must be processed 30 days from the date the SW signs the EA 1. Otherwise, fiscal is unable to claim EA funding, and county funding must be used.
