Ticking and Unticking TOA Clock

CalSAWS will auto-tick and untick the TOA clocks when EDBC runs and the case is authorized; however, in some rare instances this may not occur. The CalWORKs 60-Month and/or TANF 60-Month Clock may need to be manually unticked when an aided parent or caretaker relative was: 

• Sanctioned,
• Living in Indian Country or Alaskan Native Village, in which at least 50% of the adults living in the Indian Country or in the Village are not employed, 
• A former recipient of cash aid and is only receiving child care, case management or supportive services and is employed. 
• The recipient did not receive a cash aid payment for the month because the grant amount is less than $10. 
• The cash aid payment was fully reimbursed as a result of child support collection whether collected in that month or any subsequent month. 
• Any overpayment month, (an entire month of aid in which the recipient was not entitled to cash aid), that is fully repaid. 

[Refer to “Exempt TANF Months” and “CalWORKs Individual Time Limit Exemptions” in the CalWORKs Handbook for further details regarding policy.] 

Note: Applying child support recoupment to untick TOA Clocks requires intensive review of child support collection history and records. Unticking the CalWORKs 60-month clock due to child support payment collections or repayment of overpayments must be done by the designated TOA workers only.
