All County Letter No. 13-32 Page 3 considered MCE/BBCE-eligible because the gross income did not exceed the maximum allowable for the TANF-funded service and they have received the PUB 275.

The individual case record must first document (1) the household’s gross income did not exceed the limit for the TANF-funded service (PUB 275), (2) the PUB 275 was provided to the household and (3) that MCE/BBCE was conferred.

Example 2

An E/D household comes into the CWD and receives an application packet (or completes an online application). Included in the application packet (or on a linked web- site) is the PUB 275 (Family Planning brochure).

During the intake interview, it is determined the household has gross income that exceeds 200% of the FPL for its household size. Therefore, even though the household has received the PUB 275, it cannot be considered to be MCE/BBCE-eligible because the gross income exceeds the maximum allowable for the TANF-funded service.

The household must now be evaluated for CalFresh based on all eligibility factors. If the household has countable resources that exceed the maximum amount allowable ($3,250) for an E/D household, the application must be denied. E/D households are not subject to a gross income test in the determination of CalFresh eligibility. However, if the household’s resources do not exceed the maximum, the household must be net income eligible to receive CalFresh benefits. If the household’s net income exceeds the maximum amount allowable, the application must be denied. The individual case record must first document that the household’s gross income exceeded the limit for the TANF-funded service (PUB 275) and that MCE/BBCE was not conferred, even if the PUB 275 was provided to the household.

NOTE: Households of one or two persons that have been conferred MCE/BBCE status will be entitled to the minimum CalFresh benefit even though the household’s net income exceeds the maximum allowable for their household size. In addition, households of three or more persons that have been conferred MCE/BBCE status will be entitled to the allotment amount indicated in the tables of benefit issuance by household size even if the household’s net income exceeds the maximum amount allowable.

If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact your CalFresh county analyst or call the CalFresh Policy Bureau at (916) 654-1896.
