Beginning July 1, 2014, counties must determine whether or not a CalWORKs recipient has met his or her hourly participation obligations by using a weekly average per month rather than a weekly minimum number of hours. Workers should (1) add up the total number of participation hours in all CalWORKs activities for the month, (2) divide by 4.33 and (3) round to the nearest whole number. Counties should no longer use weekly minimums, thus allowing recipients more flexibility in a given month to reach the required participation hours total. ACL 14-80.
