Form Instructions (For the Eligibility Worker)

STATEMENT OF FACTS FOR ADDITIONAL PERSONS (Supplemental Application for Food Stamps and Request for Cash Aid}

Purpose:

The CA 8 is one of several methods of collecting information needed to add a new person(s} to the food stamp household and/or the cash assistance unit,

When there is a new person in a food stamp home, the worker may provide the household with a CA 8 or update the most recent DFA 285-A2. Regardless of the method used to collect the infor- mation, the household is required to provide information on any new person in the home so it can be determined if the person should be added to the household, or if the person's resources and income should be considered in the computation of the household’s benefits.

The county has 30 days from the date the arrival of the new person is reported on the CA 7 or otherwise, to determine the effect of this new person on the food stamp household.

When there is a request to add a new person to the cash assistance unit the worker may provide the recipient with a CA 8 or a new CA 2. The CA 8 has not been designed to collect unemployed

parent work history. Therefore, the CA 2 must be used where deprivation is based on the unem- ployment of a parent. ,

The county should act on any request to add a new person by determining promptly their eligibility for cash aid.
