child is still eligible. As stated in MPP Section 82-507.5, if the child support received for the child is no longer more than the Child MAP figure, the CWD shall not add the child back to the AU’s grant if it is not the SAR 7 or annual redetermination month for the AU.

The CWD may add the child back to the grant mid-period at the request of the parent/caretaker relative because the child support is no longer more than the amount the child would receive in cash aid. If at the next SAR or annual redetermination, whichever occurs first, the child support is still below the Child MAP figure, and the parent/caretaker relative has not already made the request, the CWD shall add the child back to the AU’s grant.

The CWD will also use the updated Child MAP charts prospectively in determining eligibility when a parent/caretaker relative elects to have a CalWORKs eligible child in their home participate in the option.
