Purpose
Revision of existing policy and/or form(s)
What changed?
The CalWORKs Maximum Aid Payment (MAP) levels will increase by 0.3 percent, effective October 1, 2024.
The system was programmed to centrally mail the TEMP 2250 (6/24), State Law Changes Maximum Aid Payment Levels for Cash Aid Recipients, to all active CalWORKs/Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA) participants (Approved cases) starting August 29, 2024, to inform them of the new payment levels: The TEMP 2250 must be provided to new CalWORKs/RCA applicants beginning September 2024 through October 2024, to inform them of the new payment levels.
The TM44-315O (7/24), Law Change to MAP Levels, Notice of Action (NOA) will be generated by the system and mailed to participants to inform them of the MAP change, effective October 1, 2024, anytime the Eligibility Determination Benefit Calculation (EDBC) is run for October 2024 benefits.
Senate Bill (SB) 380 Child MAP charts were modified to reflect the new MAP levels. These charts are used in determining eligibility for applicants/participants who opted to exclude step/half-siblings for consideration in the determination of the MAP for the Assistant Unit (AU) when the amount of child support payment received each month is more than the cash aid amount for the child.
