ACL NO. 15-42 Page Three

* A sanctioned individual may include:  Any household member who is disqualified for an Intentional Program Violation (IPV).  The head of household who does not comply with work requirements.  Any member of a household that has been convicted of a drug-related felony (refer to Manual of Policies and Procedures (MPP) section 63-402.229). [Note: With the passage of AB 1468 (Chapter 26, Statues of 2014) which removes the drug felon ban in California effective April 1, 2015, this will no longer apply. Please see ACL 14-100, dated December 19, 2014 for further information.] NOTE: If a PACF household who is Categorically Eligible (CE) and all members are receiving CalFresh reports excess income, the household is eligible for Transitional CalFresh.

A household’s IRT is established at initial certification, at recertification, with the submission of the SAR 7, or mid-period in certain circumstance, as described in the next section.

INCOME REPORTING THRESHOLDS

The CDSS has been notified by FNS that households determined eligible with gross income at or below 130 percent of the FPL will be required to report changes in income when the household’s gross income exceeds 130 percent of the FPL, both during the SAR payment period and at recertification and submission of the SAR 7). Households certified between 131 percent and 200 percent of the FPL will not be required to make any reports of income during the SAR payment period. Such households will not have a CalFresh IRT because they have already reported income of over 130 percent, and per FNS guidance, a household is only required to report that its gross income exceeds 130 percent of the FPL one time during a reporting period. All households will continue to be required to report all income on their SAR 7 and at recertification.

The PACF households will continue to be required to report based on their CalWORKs IRT. Mixed households [those households containing multiple CalWORKs Assistance Units (AU) and all receive CalFresh] will be required to report for CalWORKs when the IRT for each particular AU is exceeded. In such cases, the CalFresh household will be required to report (for CalFresh) when the household’s gross income exceeds the established CalFresh IRT.
