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 may participate in Child Support in Lieu of CalWORKs Grant Option if all other conditions are met. Counties and the parent/caretaker relative may use the child support received by each child to determine who to assign as child 1, child 2 etc., when the children are opting into Child Support in Lieu of CalWORKs Grant Option at the same time based on the amount of child support it takes to meet the eligibility threshold for the child in the AU size/type/region and assignment of child order (child 1, child 2 etc.).
