40-038 IMPLEMENTATION OF SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTING FOR

CalWORKs RECIPIENTS

.1 Effective Date All regulatory action implementing the provisions of Semi-Annual Reporting (SAR) as authorized by Assembly Bill (AB) 6 (Chapter 501, Statutes of 2011), shall become effective for recipient cases upon semi-annual reporting becoming operative in the county in which they reside pursuant to the County's SAR Declaration. The SAR Declaration is a letter submitted from the County Welfare Department Director to the Director of CDSS confirming SAR implementation in that county. Counties must implement semi-annual reporting as early as April 2013 and no later than October 2013. Semi-annual reporting regulations include a unique regulation design which includes a tandem format for the operation of both quarterly and semi-annual reporting systems to account for the staggered implementation dates. Regulations that become obsolete under Semi-Annual Reporting are labeled as (QR). Regulations that are operative under Semi-Annual Reporting are labeled (SAR). Regulations not labeled are applicable to both reporting systems and therefore remain unchanged. In addition, each regulation impacted by SAR includes a disclaimer stating SAR regulations will replace the QR regulations once SAR is implemented by the county.

.2 Divisions Impacted by Division 22, 40, 41, 42, 44, 47, 48, 80, 82, and 89.
