.2 Requirements to be Met in Order to Establish Deprivation Due to Unemployment

To establish deprivation due to unemployment, the following requirements shall be met;

.21 Deprivation shall be due to the unemployment of the principal earner. Deprivation due to unemployment exists if the principal earner is unemployed (See Section 41-440.1(a)) for definition of unemployed) and the child would otherwise be deprived for AFDC except that neither of his/her parents is deceased, incapacitated, or absent from the home.

.22 The principal earner shall have worked less than 100 hours (Section 41-440.1(a)) during the four- week period prior to the date of eligibility for cash aid based on unemployment deprivation. The four-week period shall be adjusted daily to determine the four-week period in which the applicant principal earner worked less than 100 hours. (See Handbook Section below.)

.221 An individual who applies for CalWORKs after leaving aid due to AB 98 subsidized employment income as described in Sections 42-716.721(a) and 42-716.723(a) or expanded subsidized employment income as described in Section 42-716.81, shall be considered a current recipient for the purpose of establishing unemployment deprivation if he or she applies within three calendar months of the subsidized employment ending.
