ACIN I-21-12: CalWORKs and CalFresh: – Mid-Quarter Change When Child Moves to A New Assistance Unit/Household (4/23/12)

A review of what to do when a family applies for cash aid or CalFresh benefits for a child who is currently aided in another assistance unit.  The ACIN reminds counties to be prompt in determination of eligibility, and how/when it can cut aid mid-quarter. Includes a DV warning about false claims.  If the 10-day notice period is fast approaching (e.g. it is the 18th or 19th of the month) counties should do everything possible to complete the determination of care and control so the new caretaker relative does not have to wait an additional month before s/he can begin receiving aid for the child in their care.
