Maximum asset limits in CalWORKs adjusted

Bringing CalFresh and CalWORKs rules into alignment, CalWORKs families can have $250 more in assets effective October 2014. The new maximum asset amount is $2,250 for most assistance units and $3,250 for assistance units that include a person who is disabled or 60 years of age or older. CDSS instructed counties in December 2014 to re-evaluate eligibility for assistance units who were denied or had cash aid discontinued due to excess resources and to restore benefits that would have been authorized under the new limits. Similarly, counties should have re-evaluated overpayments related to excess resources to determine if they were correct and return amounts collected or stop collection where the overpayment determination was in error.
