The purpose of this erratum is to make a correction to ACL No. 14-56. This erratum shows the prior and the corrected language for the impacted paragraph only, and should be read in conjunction with ACL No. 14-56.

Page two, under “Implementation” reads:

All counties must immediately implement a 200 percent FPL gross income level for MCE for all NACF households. Until automation is programmed, this must be done manually. For any case pending as of July 1, 2014, if automation indicates ineligibility for a non-aged/disabled CalFresh applicant household because of the 130 percent FPL gross income limit, the county must pull the case and manually verify whether eligibility under MCE status exists because of gross income at or under 200 percent FPL. Additionally, counties must check any applications that were denied for exceeding gross income since July 1, 2014, as well as applications denied in June where the 30 day processing would have gone into July. Corrective action must be taken on any cases that would have been eligible under the MCE 200 percent FPL gross income test.
