CWDs shall use the figures noted as “Child MAP” to determine if the amount of child support is greater than the amount the child would receive for CalWORKs (Please note for simplicity, income would not be a factor and a straight MAP would be used).

If the amount of child support received is greater than the “Child MAP” for the child’s AU size with the child included, region and AU type, the child is able to participate in Child Support in Lieu of CalWORKs Grant if all other conditions are met.

Example 1, the child resides in Region 1. The AU size would be 3 with the child included. It is a non-exempt AU so the base Child MAP for the child is $245.00, adding the $200.00 child support “passthrough” or “disregard”, the total child MAP is $445.00. The child receives $450.00 in child support. Therefore, the child can participate if they meet the other required conditions because they receive more than $445.00 in child support.

Example 2, same scenario as above except the child receives only $350.00 in child support. The child cannot participate because the child support is less than the $445.00 child MAP.
