Proration of Benefits, (When determining

payments by number of eligible days)

Instructions

USE THIS CHART WHEN MAKING A PARTIAL MONTH PAYMENT BY

DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE DAYS.

Reminder:

Foster Care is NOT paid for the last day of placement (the day the child

leaves).

Exception:

There is a one day minimum payment ($32 effective 1/1/08) for an ESH

placement (when a child enters and leaves an ESH on the same day).

1.

Determine the total number of days to be paid for the placement.

2.

Scan across the row to the column that corresponds to the total number of days

in the payment month. The decimal figure is the fraction of the month for which

the placement is to be paid.

(47)

3.

Multiply the total monthly rate/benefit amount by the decimal fraction and round

down, dropping all cents, to determine the rate/benefit amount to be paid for

the child’s placement.

Example:

A child, age 6 with the rate of $673 is placed on July 7 and leaves the facility

on July 21, (14 days). Use the 31-Day column and scan down to 14 and locate

the decimal (.4516) and multiply $673 x.4516 = $303.92; after rounding down

(dropping all cents); the payment = $304.

Federal Eligibility, Income Determination

3.5.1

Background

Due to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act

(PRWORA) of 1996 and state welfare reform, when determining federal eligibility

for Foster Care children removed on or after July 1, 1997, EWs must use BOTH:

• The following AFDC budgeting rules which were in effect on July 16, 1996 to

determine the parent(s’)/caretaker relative’s countable income in the month the

petition was filed or the voluntary placement agreement was signed, AND

• The MBSAC, 185% of MBSAC and MAP levels as of July 16, 1996 to determine

if they “would have been eligible for AFDC”.

3.5.2

Income Tests

When determining federal eligibility for Foster Care, the AU must pass BOTH the:

• 185% of MBSAC Income Test, AND

• Financial Eligibility Test (FET).

EWs must use the “AFDC-FG/U Worksheet” (FC 3A) for budgeting.

(49)

3.5.3

Standard Work Expense (SWE)

Deduct $90 from the gross earned income of each recipient who is employed in the

month the petition was filed.

3.5.4

$30 and 1/3 Disregard

Changes in $30 and 1/3

The $30 and 1/3 Disregard rules have changed over time to provide work

incentives for cash aid recipients. Foster Care EWs must follow the rules which

were in effect on July 16, 1996 when determining federal eligibility. If otherwise

eligible, the $30 and 1/3 disregard is limited to 4-consecutive months, without an

intervening 12-month period when not on aid. Also see additional $30 and 1/3

“Rules” below.

The following chart will assist EWs in determining if the $30 and 1/3 can be applied

to earnings in the month of petition.

IF the petition being

used was filed... The Foster Care EW must...

Because the $30 and 1/3 Disregard...

1/1/98 or later, Apply the $30 and 1/3 disregard to earned income.

Is NOT used in the CalWORKs Program. 9/1/93 - 12/31/97, Determine whether the $30 and 1/3 has

already been received for 4 consecutive months without an intervening 12-month period when not on aid.

• If YES, do not allow.a

a. When an AU has already received 4-consecutive months of $30 and 1/3, AND, the month of petition is within the 8-consecutive months following the 4-month period, allow the $30 disregard.

• If NO, allow.

4-month time limit was eliminated in the AFDC Program during this period.

FC EWs must continue to follow old, 7/1/96 AFDC rules.

Prior to 9/1/93, (FYI only)

If otherwise eligible, apply the $30 and 1/3 unless it has already been received for 4 consecutive months without an intervening 12-month period when not on aid.a

Rules are the same for both the Foster Care federal eligibility determination and the AFDC Program during this period.

(50)

Rules

For EACH adult in the AU with earnings (and child with earnings who is not eligible

for the Student Exemption), deduct $30 from the amount remaining after deducting

the $90 SWE, then deduct 1/3 of the remainder, if otherwise eligible for this

disregard. The $30 and 1/3 disregard is limited to 4 consecutive months.

The $30 and 1/3 is NOT allowed when:

• The 185% gross income test is being computed.

• The person who earned the income has already received the $30 and 1/3

disregard in any AU for 4-consecutive months without an intervening 12-month

period when he/she was not on aid.

Reminder:

Receipt of Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA) or Medi-Cal only is NOT

considered receipt of AFDC.

Note:

If cash aid is suspended or discontinued because of a periodic extra paycheck

from recurring income, the month of suspension/discontinuance does not

count as one of the consecutive months and does not interrupt the

accumulation of the 4-consecutive months.

• For applicants (intake), the applicant must be eligible without the $30 and 1/3

disregard (for the Financial Eligibility Test), before it can be applied to their

earnings.

Exception:

If the person with earnings is in the AU and has received aid (from any state) in

one of the preceding 4 months, the $30 and 1/3 disregard is allowed when

computing the Financial Eligibility Test (FET).

• The recipient is being sanctioned for failure to return the QR 7 in a timely

manner.

• The recipient terminated employment, reduced earned income or refused

employment without good cause within the budget period or the 30 days

immediately prior to the budget period.

(51)

3.5.5

$30 Disregard

Old AFDC rule: When an AFDC recipient had received the $30 and 1/3 disregard in

any AU for 4-consecutive months, they were eligible for a $30 disregard for

8-consecutive months immediately following the end of the 4-consecutive month

period.

For the purpose of the Foster Care federal eligibility determination, when an AU

has received 4 consecutive months of $30 and 1/3, AND, the month of petition is

within the 8 consecutive months following the 4-month period, allow the $30

disregard.

3.5.6

Child Care

The reasonable and necessary costs of child care or care of an incapacitated adult

in the AU may be allowed when the EW determines that dependent care cannot be

provided during the individual’s working hours, by someone in the AU.

For EACH:

Deduct actual cost up to a MAXIMUM of: Child age 2 or OLDER

(or incapacitated person)

$175

Child UNDER age 2 $200

Note:

Effective 1/1/98, child/dependent care is no longer a separate deduction in the

CalWORKs Program. Foster Care EWs, therefore, will need to ask if a parent

with earnings paid for child care in the month of petition.

3.5.7

185% Test

If the total reported or estimated gross income plus any income deemed to the AU

in the month of petition exceeds 185% of MBSAC plus any Special Needs available

to the AFDC-AU, there is NO federal eligibility. Do NOT compute the Financial

Eligibility Test (FET).

Note:

“Special Needs” (above) does NOT refer to a Foster Care special rate paid for

the needs of a Foster Care child.

(52)

• Gross earnings from employment.

(Do NOT allow the $90 Standard Work Expense (SWE), the $30 and 1/3

disregard, or the dependent care deduction when computing the 185% Test.)

• Net self employment earnings (deduct business expenses.)

• Child Support (minus the $50 disregard).

• Gross earnings of all children, including students, once their 6-month student

exemption is used up.

• Income deemed to the AU, including but not limited to, income from a

stepparent, senior parent, ineligible alien parent, etc.

• Any other non-exempt income of persons in the AU or persons whose income

must be counted towards the AU, including persons excluded for cause,

sanctioned.

To compute the 185% Test, follow these steps:.

STEP ACTION

1. Determine the GROSS self-employment income.

2. Subtract all allowable business expenses to determine NET self-employment income.

3. Add to the net self-employment income (from Step 2), any other gross earned and unearned income, including deemed income. This equals total income to the AU.

IMPORTANT:

• Do NOT allow the $90 Standard Work Expense (SWE) or the $30 and 1/3 Disregard.

• Do NOT allow the Child/Dependent Care Deduction. • Allow the $50 Child Support Disregard, if applicable.

• Deduct court ordered child support if it is actually being paid by someone in the AU.

• Do NOT count exempt or excluded income.

4.

Compare the total remaining income in Step 3 with 185% of MBSAC: Note: Include any AFDC Special Needs if applicable.

IF THE INCOME... THEN...

Exceeds 185%, There is no AFDC eligibility for the AU. Establish non-federal Foster Care. Equals or is less than 185%, Compute Financial Eligibility Test.

(53)

3.5.8

Financial Eligibility Test (FET)

If the AU passes the 185% Test, then determine financial eligibility in the month of

petition, either using actual or estimated income based on the preponderance of

evidence. When actual or estimated income exceeds MBSAC plus any Special

Needs available to the AFDC-AU, there is NO federal eligibility.

Note:

“Special Needs” (above) does NOT refer to a Foster Care special rate paid for

the needs of a Foster Care child.

To determine if the Foster Care child’s parent(s) / caretaker relative passes the

Financial Eligibility Test (FET), the EW shall follow these steps:

STEP ACTION

1. Determine the total gross income from employment.

2. Add any net income self-employment income (gross self-employment income minus allowable business expenses) from Step 2. The total from Step 1 and Step 2 equals Total Earned Income.

3. Subtract the following deductions, as appropriate, to determine the net non-exempt earned income.

• $90 standard work expense disregard from the earned income of each employed person.

• $30 and 1/3 disregard from the earned income of each employed person, if otherwise eligible for it.

• Child/Dependent Care costs (up to $175 for each child age 2 or older or incapacitated person; up to $200 for each child under 2).

• This will equal the net nonexempt earned income. The remainder equals net earnings.

4. Add any nonexempt unearned income, including deemed income. This total equals the net nonexempt income of the Assistance Unit (AU). 5. Compare the amount in Step 4 to MBSAC for the AU.

Note: Include any AFDC Special Needs if applicable. IF THE NET NONEXEMPT INCOME... THEN...

Is equal to or greater than MBSAC, There is NO AFDC eligibility for the AU. Establish non-federal Foster Care. Is LESS than MBSAC, There is federal eligibility for Foster Care.
